You told me; you were there;
I saw you; you were there;
I heard you; you were there;
I am there; when you were there
I waited; when you were there.

I waited; so you could talk;
I waited; to hear you talk;
I hear you; when you knock;
"Lord hear me"; you talk;
I honour you in silence; when you talk.

When I reached out to you; you were gone;
When I called; none answered;
When I opened; I saw none;
I sought you; I found none.

When you call; I answer;
When I called; none answered;
For you; I always wait;
For me; you couldn't wait;
I honoured your presence in silence;
My presence you couldn't honour in patience and persistence;
I answered;
But you were gone already when I answered.
