In God’s Own Time

Well I ran into an old friend just the other day
When I asked how he was doing
This is what he had to say
He said brother I’ve got troubles
And I’ve been down on my knees
But I think that God’s forgotten about me
And I told him

Chorus

In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
He’ll do exactly what He said He’ll do
In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
In God’s own time His word is true

Well, an old man stood beside the bed
Where his loving wife did lay
And he knew the end was coming
It could happen any day
He looked down at the one he loved
And said I need you so
And I can’t bear to stay and see you go
And she told him

Chorus

In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
Once again I’ll walk beside you
In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
In God’s own time His word is true

Well a little boy sat on the floor
With his little Sunday school book
And he looked up at his Daddy
Gave him a curious look
He said I’ve read about the things
God said that He would do
But how am I to know that it’s true
And his Daddy told him

Chorus

In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
Son, He’ll do exactly what He said He’ll do
And if I ever wondered if His love was true
All I have to do is look at you

In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
He’ll do exactly what He said He’ll do
In God’s own time
Not yours and mine
In God’s own time His word is true
