You were there
In the silent desert sand
In deliverance
To the promised land
You're not slow
Not as we perceive it
You're a patient leader
You were there
Waking up the dead
Calling "Lazarus!
Come out of the grave!"
In his suffering
You wept along with Mary
You were patient, You knew the ending
You are patient
Only slow to anger
Always a good shepherd
Leading how You see is best
Always bringing life from death
You were there
Mending barren wombs
And when Sarah laughed
How could it be true?
You were faithful
To fulfill Your promise
You're a patient father
You are there
When we feel out of control
In the storm You are
Sleeping on the boat
You're not slow
Or pressured into action
But You're patient, never passive
You are patient
Only slow to anger
Always a good shepherd
Leading how You see is best
Always bringing life from death
This is what You do
Bringing life from death
This is what You do
Help me trust the way You lead me
In and out of every season
In gardens or in desert places
I will trust Your patience
Help me trust the way You lead me
In and out of every season
In gardens or in desert places
I will trust Your patience
I will trust Your patience
You are patient
Only slow to anger
Always a good shepherd
Leading how You see is best
Always bringing life from death
