Perhaps I was Not Mistaken

Perhaps. Perhaps I was not mistaken,

And the faith that I sowed is a seed that will grow

into the promise that I had envisioned.

Maybe. Maybe I wasn’t wrong

In singing a song of praise, knowing that my God will deliver,

That He would heal and set free;

That if I continue to wait, His grace and mercies I would see

Perhaps. Perhaps, I didn’t see it inaccurately,

And the Word did tell me to have faith

That it did tell me that I could expectantly wait,

Knowing that God has good for me,

Knowing that He deeply and truly loves me

Knowing that He had already set me free

Perhaps, I could walk this life liberally in His blessings

Surely. Surely, I didn’t err

And the choice that I made was my saving grace,

Even though the battle, I now face

It is something I would not have chosen,

But something that He would allow me to grow in

Taking me from Glory to Glory

Closer into His presence, Closer into His essence,

Knowing what it is like to truly be known, not only to be told what God can be

But realizing how He could shine through me

Perhaps. Perhaps it wasn’t just a fantasy or a scene in a dream that I dreamt at night.

But a vision that gave insight into what I am to be, into what God has prepared for me.

Did it show me what I can believe in?

Did it reveal God's plan?

Indeed. Indeed, I can call on His name

Proclaim His promise, and not hesitantly approach

But boldly pray, knowing that He would hear,

Approach Him in reverence, and no timidity or doubting fear

Perhaps, maybe, surely, indeed, I did get it right

When I believed His words and trusted His hand

So, when I wait, I do not wait alone but with My Friend

With an excited hope of what the Lord has orchestrated and already planned.
