3. IMPATIENT HEART, BE STILL
-
-
Impatient heart, be still!
What tho’ He tarries long?
What tho’ the triumph song is still delay’d?
Thou hast His promise sure,
And that is all secure;
Be not afraid! Be not afraid!
Be still! … be still!
Impatient heart … be still!
-
-
My eager heart, be still
Thy Lord will surely come,
And take thee to His home,
With Him to dwell;
It may not be today;
I cannot tell, I cannot tell.
Be still!… be still!
My eager heart … be still!
-
My anxious heart, be still!
Watch, work, and pray, and then
It will not matter when
Thy Lord shall come;
At midnight, or at noon;
He cannot come too soon
To take thee home, To take thee home.
Be still! … be still!
My anxious heart … be still!
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
