A Matter of Time
Your dreams of success seem to slip through your hands,
though you've done your best work and you've laid the best plans.
Sallow faced you sit here grieving
while at the precipice of achieving.
The seeds of harvest take time to grow.
In due time you'll reap what you have sown.
Don't you let worry furrow your brow.
Things will workout for the best somehow.
Plant both feet firmly upon the ground.
Stand strong in your resolve and honor your vows.
Sometimes the journey seems all up hill.
There are dark and lonely moments,
but don't you lose your will.
There is a master plan: there is a time for you.
Give it your all no matter the cost,
and you will come through.
Leave now all in the hands of the Divine.
Your fruit will flourish upon the vine.
Have a little faith; belief is what it takes
to make it in these troubled times.
In every situation be of the persuasion
that it's only a matter of time.
There is a grand design: there is an open door.
All you hope for, it will be yours,
if you'll go with this in mind;
it's only a matter of time.
Waiting can be the hardest thing to do.
Don't give up now; I believe in you!
Encourage your heart with these lines.
It's only a matter of time.

With God all things are possible
