Sometimes it feels like ages
Before God answers prayer,
‘Cause I can’t see the stages
Which He ordains with care.

And yet I keep on praying
Because I know He hears
More than the words I’m saying –
He understands my fears.

He promises to hear me
And grant what I request
Unless His kindness gives me
Some different thing that’s best.

I know He sees tomorrow
Like it was yesterday,
So I will gladly follow
And trust His plan today.
