Creatives: When?

I was sitting beneath a tree
When You saw me there so lonely
You came to me and greeted me
Oh how the clouds fade and the day became sunny

And then You said ‘I need to leave’
But left a promise to come back
So Your words I held on and believed
And tried to make my hope intact

Oh my beloved! For when will that be?
You precious arrival, for years I long to see
After a year? a decade? or maybe a century?
When will you be here right beside me?

When? Never yet have I shut my eyes
Even roses turned thorns, flames turn to ice
When? For my faith in You is shaking
About to give up for the day of Your coming

But I knelt and pray to strengthen my heart
Knowing that nothing will keep us apart
And keeping my faith as strong as a boulder
Hoping that one day we’ll be together
