Dear Friend...

 

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,

And Christ will give you love;

Reach out to Him Who brings you joy,

And blessings from above.

 

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,

And Christ will give you grade;

Come, tarry for a little while,

And rest in His embrace.

 

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,

And Christ will give you hope;

He'll help you strive to carry on,

And give you strength to cope.

 

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,

And Christ will give you life;

He'll be there ever by your side,

And take away your strife.

 

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,

And Christ will give you peace;

Remember Him when skies are dark,

And you will find release!
