A Poem of Praise for the Blessings We Once Prayed For

By: Anteneshia Sanders

My petitions now materialized

My hands now holding tight

What I once knew only in the depths of my heart

That I now know by sight

 

I remember the darkness of longing

I remember the mocking of dusk

I remember storming the throneroom of Heaven

To lay hold of the One that I trust

 

And though He never answered audibly

He endowed me with endurance

Though He never promised me my every wish

He gifted me blessed assurance

 

Though God never answered out loud, He gave me endurance | TDGC

So faith became the tearful refrain

To my abiding asking song

As I waited for what I longed for most

Though I did not know how long

 

I waited for what I longed for, though I did not know how long | TDGC

Now faith upholds my blissful praise

As I behold what grace has shared

And recall the years that stumbled by

And how Jesus was always there

 

I recall the years that passed and how Jesus was always there | TDGC

But I know had He never designated my dreams

If His answer would have been, “No.”

That He still would be worthy of all of my worship

For He is the God who knows

 

What a yearning heart really needs the most

Is a Savior who sees and cares

But I worship Him now 

And forever for how

He graciously answered my prayer.
