One brick at a time will build the highest wall.
One step at a time will cover many miles.
Inch by inch the spider builds her lovely web
Surely, bit by bit, God turns our tears to smiles.
When the future looks so dark you'd like to quit
Just turn to God and see what He can do.
Wait and trust in Him and you will find
'Though the day be dark the sun will soon shine through.

Dear Father, grant me patience
While I'm waiting to be healed
And faith to keep believing
That to weakness I won't yield.
Grant me strength and courage
As I cope with daily pain.
Let not my heart grow faint, dear Lord,
And let me not complain;
For I know you're with me always,
And when the time is right,
You'll heal me, free my pain-scarred soul
To soar like a bird in flight.
For if I wait upon you, Lord,
My strength shall be renewed,
I shall mount up with wings as eagles,
All the waiting will be understood.
I shall run and not be weary;
I shall walk and never faint;
For your goodness knows no limit.
And your love knows no restraint.
Based on Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eagles; They shall run and not be weary; And they shall walk and not faint."
