This song was part of my church’s Seminary theme “Not of the World” in 1984. (I loved that seminary year and the cassette tape my teacher gave to me!) Words never go out of style and the following well-said words spoke to me then and they speak to me now. Click here to listen to the song. (You might need to drag the progress bar to ‘In His Own Time’.)
In His Own Time
When you wake from a sleep and you open your eyes
And your questions begin to fade.
And the feeling of peace from deep down inside
Whispers, “You’ve found a better way”.And you know, yes, you know the answer
And you know that your prayers were heard.
For that promise was made to you and me
By the light of the world.In His own time, in His own way
He’s waiting there to share the light.
So reach out and He will lead you
Through the darkness of the night.Through the darkness of the night.
Don’t go closing your eyes to the truth that you see
Or shut out what the light reveals.
Just remember the love of God
And it shines there for you to feel.And you know, yes, you know the answer
That He lives and your prayers are heard.
For that promise was made to you and me
By the light of the world.In His own time, in His own way
He’s waiting there to share the light.
So reach out and He will lead you
Through the darkness of the night.Through the darkness of the night.
