It was a year of changing

It was a year of changing
With many a time a place and person too
Twas quite a time for chasing
And dreaming too

To see the world as wild and free
And open to what You were a bringing me
All the while a singing
And hoping

Adventure at every corner
A testing of faith
Of following
And finding

A year of wondering
When and where
Praying and saying
Why

And now a season of waiting
And waiting for what
Will have to wait and see

Your will
A working
A changing
In Me

Yet still
It's work
A painful thing
A precious thing
Tis sure

Of trusting
Your way
O'er mine

Divine it is
And yet
Hard

To rest
In this hope
Knowing
You hold the rope

What shall a day
A week, a month, a year
Bring

You alone
Can only
Know

Yet still
I remain
In quiet
Expectation

Hoping
And praying
It will bring me
Nearer to You
