Welcome from afar

Tired of trying what you can't measure,
Calloused hands just brings a tear,
Hoping for a cloud beneath the blue
At the brink to tarry without a clue

Like the morning light in the dead of night
welcomed from afar
Like the portrait in an artist's mind
Welcomed from afar
Like a piece of wood in a craftsman's hand
Welcomed from afar
Is faith promising the Father's Plan
welcomed from afar

He was the least of the weakest clan,
For Gideon God did have a plan,
He hadn't seen rain to know from where it came
Only Noah's ark saw the light of day

A galling thought can quench the spark
That feeds on persistence to last
Being sure of the unseen,
Is faith that rests on weakened knees


This song was inspired by Hebrews 12:13 " All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance..."
