Standing and Starting

"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you today.... And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto Me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward" (Exodus 14:13-15).

There is a time for standing still
When we've done all we know.
There is a time to do His will
When God tells us to go.

God will teach us when to stay
And when to march ahead.
He will lead us in the way
To go where He has said.

God calls for obedience
From those who are His own,
And this shall be their recompense:
To make His glory known.

We may thus anticipate
That God will make it clear
When we ought to go or wait,
If we have ears to hear.
