LebaRae - HIS Patience

How awesome it is
Your amazing love and Your greatness
And Your patience
Is what has caught my attention
You patiently wait for us
When we turn and run away
As well as patiently searching for us
When we've strayed away
Making a path, trying to create our own way

Now, the world says
"Take the path that no one else has taken"
But what a foolish thing to say
When the Lord has already paved it
Created it
He made no mistakes with this
And yet we cause strife and contentions
With stupid arguments when we begin debating this

Your patience is what we take for granted
And we claim to understand it
But we don't fully grasp
This amazing attribute You possess
That allows us to remain standing.

It's Your mercy, Your kindness
That You don't have to give
But You do it anyway
Despite the daily disobedience
Combined with the "YOLO" mindset
Plus the cliche "it is what it is"
Totaling up to a false-positive knowledge
On how we should live

It's a blessing
It's Your patience
That awakes us after sleeping
Think about it
Even while we slumber
Why would He allow us to keep breathing?

It's to give us another chance
To walk uprightly
Not to wake up
So we can continue to dance
To the tunes of unrighteousness.

It's a gift
It's His patience
That so greatly abounds
And none of us deserve it
But yet it keeps us all from being
6 feet under ground

It's His unconditional, unfailing love
It's His patience
When will we comprehend this?
And turn to repentance?
Or will we follow the steps of Israel
And ignore Him unto the point
Where Gods patience is no longer in existence?
Even chastisement and affliction
Doesn't get our attention

We fail to see
That's another sign of His patience
That is displayed so beautifully.

It's His patience
That we continue to ignore
Because it's the worldly treasures
That we'd rather have stored

He's patient
Because He wants us to
Pursue
Righteousness, godliness, faith, love steadfastness, gentleness
To set our minds on Him
For we are to do good
To be rich in good works, and be generous

We are to store up
Treasures for ourselves as a good foundation
For the future
Which is the dwelling with our Lord Jesus Christ
So that we may take hold
Of that which is truly life

His patience
For His sickly patients
Will run out sooner than later
Lord I thank You
For giving me this understanding
Allowing me to see
This underserving gift
You bestow on this mere human
Who You're constantly fighting for
And defending

It's His patience, His patience
As to why He has chosen
Not to let us go
Because He loves us that much
Yet, one day we won't get that second go
It's His patience!
