Dedicated to Sharon D. and Seamless-Table # 5 Ladies<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m waiting Lord, there\u2019s so much to do<\/h6>\n
Not enough hours in the day, so I\u2019ll keep looking to you\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s in, the, in-between-times, I grow weary and tired<\/h6>\n
Like a panicky bird on a high, live-wire<\/h6>\n
Day in and day out\u2026years come and I often doubt<\/h6>\n
What\u2019s life really all about?<\/h6>\n
Struggling with bills and cares of this life\u2026<\/h6>\n
So much turmoil there\u2019s envy and strife\u2026<\/h6>\n
The in-between-times when life is hard to bear<\/h6>\n
I wonder sometimes does He really care.<\/h6>\n
Then I\u2019m reminded of a time long ago<\/h6>\n
You staggered down the Via Delarosa road\u2026<\/h6>\n
Carrying a cross, it was a heavy load<\/h6>\n
Many mocked and cursed your name\u2026<\/h6>\n
Causing hurt wanting to blame\u2026<\/h6>\n
No one sees, the end, from the, beginning<\/h6>\n
So much in-between-time, life is messy; the answers can\u2019t be seen\u2026<\/h6>\n
What will life look like in the years ahead\u2026?<\/h6>\n
Open the book, read what it says\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s the in-between-times, where we must hold on<\/h6>\n
Be brave and courageous, bold and strong<\/h6>\n
Be patient and loving and kind, stay in God\u2019s presence, where we belong\u2026<\/h6>\n
Taking each moment until years are seen<\/h6>\n
In the in-between-times\u2026then you\u2019ll know what I mean\u2026<\/h6>\n
Looking at now, all you see is defeat\u2026<\/h6>\n
Child of God; GET UP ON YOUR FEET!<\/h6>\n
All the time wasted in worry and defeat\u2026<\/h6>\n
Will leave you stranded, abandoned and weak\u2026<\/h6>\n
Cry out to Jesus in the in-between-times\u2026<\/h6>\n
Be alert, be humble, precious child, be meek\u2026<\/h6>\n
Then you will live and life will be sweet<\/h6>\n
Knowing your struggles have made you complete<\/h6>\n
By faith, and, by grace, God walks with you<\/h6>\n
In the in-between-times<\/h6>\n
He sees all that you do,<\/h6>\n
He picks you up, and carries you!<\/h6>\n
