Today
we
celebrate
you,
Patience.
Today
we
celebrate
your
hard
work,
your
prayers,
your
strength,
and
all
you
have
been
through.
There
were
hard
days.
There
were
days
you
wanted
to
stop.
But
you
kept
going.
And
today…
look
at
you!
God
has
done
it.
This
is
a
special
song
from
your
friend
Eunice,
to
say
congratulations
and
to
celebrate
this
great
day
with
you.
You
waited
patiently…
You
trusted
God…
And
God
came
through.
[VERSE 1] Patience,
do
you
remember
All
the
days
you
prayed?
With
your
books
in
front
of
you,
You
trusted
God
to
help
you.
When
the
work
was
hard,
When
the
road
was
long,
You
kept
your
faith
in
Jesus,
You
kept
moving
on.
There
were
days
you
were
worried,
There
were
days
you
were
afraid,
But
you
did
not
give
up,
You
kept
believing.
Every
day
you
kept
trying,
Every
night
you
kept
praying.
And
the
God
you
trusted
Was
always
by
your
side.
[PRE-CHORUS] God
saw
every
tear.
God
heard
every
prayer.
When
you
said, “
I
can't,”
He
gave
you
strength.
What
looked
like
a
long
wait
Was
leading
to
this
day.
Now
we
can
all
see
What
God
has
done
for
you.
[CHORUS] Patience,
you
waited,
And
God
came
right
on
time.
[CHORUS] Patience,
you
waited,
And
God
came
right
on
time.
From
the
hard
days
To
your
graduation
day,
Look
at
you
now!
Patience,
you
trusted,
Even
when
the
road
was
long.
Now
we
dance,
Now
we
sing,
And
we
praise
the
Lord!
Oh,
Patience,
you
did
it!
By
God's
grace,
you
made
it!
You
waited
patiently…
And
God
came
through!
Yes,
God
came
through!

[VERSE 2] We
remember
your
mother,
And
all
her
prayers
for
you.
We
remember
your
father,
And
all
he
did
for
you.
We
remember
the
long
nights,
The
books
you
had
to
read,
The
days
you
felt
tired,
But
you
still
kept
going.
Some
things
tried
to
stop
you.
Some
days
made
you
cry.
But
every
time
you
fell
down,
You
got
up
and
tried
again.
And
today,
your
friend
Eunice
Is
so
happy
for
you.
She
is
here
to
celebrate
you,
And
say, “
Patience,
you
made
it!”
Look
at
you
today!
Look
at
what
God
has
done!
You
are
wearing
your
gown.
You
have
reached
your
goal.
[PRE-CHORUS 2] What
looked
impossible
Is
now
a
testimony.
What
brought
you
tears
Has
brought
you
joy.
You
trusted
God's
word.
You
kept
your
faith.
And
now
you're
standing
here,
Because
God
brought
you
this
far.
[CHORUS] Patience,
you
waited,
And
God
came
right
on
time.
From
the
hard
days
To
your
graduation
day,
Look
at
you
now!
Patience,
you
trusted,
Even
when
the
road
was
long.
Now
we
dance,
Now
we
sing,
And
we
praise
the
Lord!
Oh,
Patience,
you
did
it!
By
God's
grace,
you
made
it!
You
waited
patiently…
And
God
came
through!
He
came
through!
He
came
through!
[BRIDGE — SLOW] People
may
not
know
your
story.
They
may
not
know
your
hard
days.
They
may
not
know
your
tears.
They
may
not
know
your
prayers.
But
God
knows.
God
saw
you.
God
heard
you.
God
helped
you.
And
today,

celebrating
you
with
