Perfect Timing

Verse 1

O Lord I’ve been waiting
Waiting for the ground to give way
Give way to the life that’s growing
Beneath the rock and clay
How long, will it take me
To see the plans that I’ve made
Become the trees with fruit, the evidence
Of the pray'rs that I have prayed?

But You say, don’t rush this
You’ve got to be patient when you plant a seed
And there’ll be a harvest
Don’t make that your idol, keep your eyes on Me

Chorus

Your timing is perfect, right down to the minute
Late in bloom or suddenly, You know when it’s best for me

Verse 2

So when I am weary
And aching for what I’ve not seen
And I’m tempted to rush the hands of time
To force them to bend to me

You say, don’t worry
The hustle is so over-ra - ted
I will be content
With what you have given as my daily bread

Chorus

Your timing is perfect, right down to the minute
Late in bloom or suddenly
You know when it’s best for me

Bridge

And make me like the sparrow
Happy to be fed from the hand of God
Make me like the lilies
Light and gentle, calm and unafraid
Content to grow where they stand

Chorus

Your timing is perfect, right down to the minute
Late in bloom or suddenly
You know when it’s best for me
