Overnite

It seems like you’ve been overlooked;

Like everybody’s passing you by.

You’ve tried to do everything right.

But, for this, you don’t understand why.

Your neighbor is getting married.

Your best friend got a new job.

Your co-worker just got a raise.

And your brother won a trip to Cape Cod.

It looks like life’s just good to them

And they just have good fate.

But what you fail to understand, my friend

Is that they also had to wait.

You see, to everything there’s a season

And we all must wait our turn.

But, when we struggle against God’s timing

We grow weary for the things we yearn.

So, don’t be discouraged by someone’s blessing.

Instead rejoice! You just moved up one flight!

Don’t sit around keeping time on God’s plans.

He can change things overnite!
