The Wait
 
Open window, flashing Scarlet
Too brilliant to forget
Strong cord, wound securely
Flapping boldly, brazenly
 
Of little worth, I matter not
Imprisoned by these heavy walls
But as keeper of the Scarlet Cord
I matter much to my new Lord
 
All I love behind me
Held by these massive walls
Blazing faith, my only fee
Scarlet Cord, my hope for all
 
So eagerly I watch and wait
For flashing armor at the gate
Scarlet Cord, it seals my fate
Patience, it is not too late
 
I am Rahab, from of old
I speak to all, who trust and hold
Scarlet Cord, more dear than gold
In waiting ,you'll grow bold
 
Strong walls, they must crumble
They cannot stand ,they must tumble
Trumpet sounds, I hear the shout
All peace within, chaos without
 
There is no wait without an end
Victory strides around the bend
His promise made, is a promise kept
Sealed forever in bold Scarlet
