Song 158 “It Will Not Be Late!” Based on Habakkuk 2:3

1. Beauty fills the earth,

wonder fills our mind

The work of your hands

so patiently designed.

Though the world may change,

you remain the same.

You patiently wait

to make it new again.

Father, we long to see

Paradise come to be.

Give us the patience to wait.

We know your day will come,

sure as the rising sun.

No matter how long it takes,

“It will not be late!”

2. Faithfully we wait

for the dead to rise.

Jehovah, you yearn

to bring them back to life.

Father, we well know

how you loved them so.

Instill in our hearts

the patience you have shown.

Father, we long to see

Paradise come to be.

Give us the patience to wait.

We know your day will come,

sure as the rising sun.

No matter how long it takes,

“It will not be late!”

3. Patiently you search;

honest hearts you find.

You heal them with hope

and long to give them life.

Working by your side,

sharing what is true,

We use our time well.

It draws us close to you.

Father, we long to see

Paradise come to be.

Give us the patience to wait.

We know your day will come,

sure as the rising sun.

No matter how long it takes,

“It will not be late!”

Father, please help us to wait!
