Patiently God Teaches Me
by Douglas Knighton © 2016https://promisesforthebattle.com
Patiently, patiently God teaches me what I must know.
He shows me how to succeed; leads in the way I should go.
Jesus will teach me his way, like those who sat at his feet;
Goodness and graciousness grow; wisdom makes my life complete.
Jesus, my teacher and lord, he illustrated the way;
Now I am his hands and feet, serving in his name today.
