God is preparing me
For a new time
God is teaching me
Living each moment for Him
And the tribulation produces only
In me patience
And the loneliness I will never steal
The certainty of their presence.

God is teaching me
Living
God is teaching me
The dream
God is preparing me
To see
All pledges
I will win
God is teaching me
The meet
God is teaching me
The love
And while I hope my blessing
God is teaching me to love
Me teaching
God is teaching me to love.

In flood
No exodus
In prison
Poverty
In shortage
In the dry hinterland
In the heat of the desert
At sea it was opened
That project
That never worked
In mourning that mourn their dead
In the rubble of an earthquake
In the ruins of a fallen wall
In the mother's cry
Who lost her baby son
In cry of fear
In the silence of pain
Pens in the palace
In hymns of praise
In the pit of lions
In death on the cross
In drops of blood
That Jesus shed
In trials
And in the persecution
In the notes of many, many
And many, many songs

Me teaching
God is teaching me to love.
