wait, step back, breathe.

I sometimes wonder, what it is you're looking for.

Say, think, do ~ many things
To people, to yourself, to God.
This is what you do.

I see it, your heart out there on the line.
The excitement that comes over you,
When you're noticed.

I sometimes wonder, why you get surprised.
That you get noticed, it seems obvious to me.
You step out, they step forward.

And yet, as you pursue these things,
I can't help but wonder, is it good.
Is it the best?

Wait, step back, breathe.
Why are you in such a rush?
To fill the gap, the space, the cracks.

Maybe the broken pieces need the time
To find their way back together.
Maybe God needs the space to do his job.

Wait in the gap, it gives perspective
Have patience, peace knows your name.
And love knows who you are.

Take heart, take a breath, take a break
What you're looking for is looking for you
Cease to worry, cease to strive

Impostors knock on your door, always
They can wait outside while
You're waiting on something different.

Because it is worth the wait,
And you know you are too.
Take guard, take time, take the best.
