“Expecting”

| Laura Lee Bonde

thank you LORD
for the beautiful things
that come from me
and remain to be seen

I owe you Lord
every breath I take
every move I make
I love You

I
hear Your voice
so
call my name
I
will follow You
with
a life unashamed

I owe you Lord
every breath I take
every move I make
I love You

thank you LORD
for the beautiful things
that come from me
and remain to be seen
