For He Gave Me Patience

As I sit alone I shall wait,
For He gave me patience.
I shall not hurt, I shall not hate,
For He gave me patience.
I will smile and appreciate,
For He gave me patience.
I will see small things become great,
For He gave me patience.

I am His child,
A chosen one,
Though I am not perfect,
I am with the rising sun.

As I feel boots in my side, I will not cry,
For He gave me patience.
I will forgive my enemy, or at least try,
For He gave me patience.
I will offer open arms and truth, not lies,
For He gave me patience.
It will not be for earthly riches I time,
For He gave me patience.

I am His child,
A mansion in heaven.
Though I am not perfect,
I am truly blessed.
