Wait for What?

"And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in Thee" (Psalm 39:7).

In this age of vanity,
Oh Lord, what wait I for?
Grant me, Lord, the sanity
To love You more and more.

I thank You for my days of health
On earth, though they be few.
I thank You for the fleeting wealth
For daily bread from You.

But these can never satisfy
The longing of my soul.
For health and wealth make wings and fly,
As time demands its toll.

So now I hope in You, oh Lord;
To whom else can we go?
There's no one else who can afford
The riches You bestow.
