 ANTICIPATE
IT WASN’T COMPLETE; I DIDN’T WAIT;
WHY DO I KEEP TRYING TO OPEN ‘THE GATE’
THAT ONLY RESPONDS TO MY LORD’S MIGHTY HAND;
HELP ME TO WAIT AND TO UNDERSTAND.
SOMETIMES WAITING’S THE STRONGEST ACTION;
TO PROTECT ME FROM BEING LORD.
MY FLESH REALLY FIGHTS ME AND YELLS AND SCREAMS;
AND SAYS, I’M SO VERY BORED.
IT ALWAYS PRESENTS A SUBSTITUTE, ANYTHING TO BE APPEASED,
BUT, THEN I REMEMBER, YOU CAN’T RULE ME;
IT’S MY LORD I WANT TO PLEASE.
I WONDER WHERE THAT THOUGHT CAME FROM,
AS I’M FIGHTING THIS RAGING BATTLE;
IT MUST BE CHRIST’S MIND THAT I’M THINKING WITH
AND NOT SATAN’S FOOLISH PRATTLE.
THIS STARTS TO SCARE ME THAT I’M SO FAMILIAR
TO SATAN’S FOOLISH WAY;
I GO BACK TO THE MIND THAT SPOKE BEFORE;
TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
THEN I HEAR, RELAX, DON’T WORRY, I’M WALKING YOU OUT
OF THIS FAMILIAR PRISON;
EVERY PLAN YOU MAKE IS IN MY HEART;
AND TOGETHER WE HAVE RISEN.
NOW, LET’S DO SOMETHING TOGETHER TODAY;
THAT WILL HELP YOU ENJOY THE WAIT;
AND IN THE DOING, YOUR RESPONSE WILL RUN HIGH;
AND WE WILL ANTICIPATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
