As You Wait Lyrics

As you wait make your coffee

Move to the couch or to the chair on the porch

Leave your phone in the other room along with your worries

You don't need to busy yourself

You can just be

Open your hands and breathe in deep

This is a prayer of thanks and surrender

Fix your eyes forward on the world in front of you

See the trees shake their leaves to the ground

Listen as the birds sing their song for anyone who will listen

Get lost in the rising sun and the shadows it makes

Slow yourself down and sit with what is even if what is feels incomplete

There is peace but there is also a piece missing

Maybe you feel this way too

I tell myself life is not a puzzle to complete but a gift to enjoy

Even if something or someone is missing

Something is missing but hope is not

Something is missing but peace is not

Something is missing but God is not

As you wait remember

Life is not a puzzle to complete but a gift to enjoy
