Worth the Wait

I have just watched Sergio win the US Masters
After lots of tries which ended in disasters!
It was a tight contest with golf beyond belief
And when he had won you could detect relief.
This was shortly followed by a period of joy
You could tell that he was now a very happy boy!
He had waited many years to win a major prize
And with all his marvellous skills it was no surprise.
The only cause for wonder was why it took so long
He would be on the verge of it and then it would go wrong.
Now he will not bother over all the might-have-beens
He will just remember last night’s ecstatic scenes.
The Jews had waited centuries for their heavenly king
Though they had no real idea of what our Lord might bring.
Unfortunately they missed it for he did not seem great
No triumphal entry no panoply of state.
Waiting is just something we all have to do
But we can be certain that Christ will see it through.
We know he died and rose again to save us from our fate
And for his second coming it will be worth the wait!
