Poetry

[Verse 1]
Isn't it so hard for most of us
To find the kind of patience that will trust
The slow steady work
Of God beneath the surface
Every moment working for our good

[Verse 2]
'Cause under all the snow is something green
Hiding in the winter is a spring
I know it will take
The barren field of heartbreak
A little time for a new rain to fall

[Chorus]
I will not hang my head
His banner is over me
He said I am his poetry
He won't waste a word
And I'm gonna wait
Wait on the Lord

[Verse 3]
Surely I've been wrong along the way
But I will not be called by my mistakes
He calls me his friend
When all I see's where I've been
I hear him tell me where I am going

[Chorus]
I will not hang my head
His banner is over me
He said I am his poetry
He won't waste a word
And I'm gonna wait
Wait on the Lord

[Bridge]
There's no wound that he cannot heal
There's no child too far gone
I'm the clay on his spinning wheel
He knows what I'll become

[Chorus]
I will not hang my head
His banner is over me
He said I am his poetry
And he won't waste a word
(I will not hang my head, oh no)
I will not hang my head
His banner is over me
He said I am his poetry
He won't waste a word
And I'm gonna wait
Yes, I'm gonna wait
Oh, I'm gonna wait
I'll wait on the Lord
