What Did You Expect Today?

What did you expect today, when in my house you came?
Did you intend to simply watch while others praised my name?
Perhaps you hoped by sitting there that somehow I’d forget
and overlook your careless list of promises not kept.

What did you expect today, when in my house you sat
and waited for some solid proof that I was here at last?
I know you’re waiting for a sign to tell you I am real.
Why is it that you only trust the things you see and feel?

My only Son I gave for you
that all your sins be cleansed.
Upon a cross He died for you—
What more did you expect?

What did you expect today, when in my house you prayed?
Were you afraid I might not hear, or that I’d turn away?
If you will just believe my Word, the way you say you do,
then you will find my gift of Grace waits in this house for you.
