Misc Children – Wesleys Wuppets - Have Patience (Guitar)

G                                                  D
There was a snail called Herbert, who was so very slow,

                                                   G
He caused a lot of traffic jams wherever he would go.

                                                              C
The ants were always getting mad, and the beetles they would fume

                       G              D                 G
But Herb would always poke along and sing this little tune.

G                                                 D
Have patience, have patience, Don't be in such a hurry,

                                            G
When you get impatient, you only start to worry.

                                         C
Remember, remember, that God is patient, too.

      D                                                  G
And think of all the times when others have to wait for you.

G                                               D
When Herbert was much younger, he often got in trouble,

                                                       G
Forgetting that he was a snail, he did things on the double.

                                                            C
He'd crash through every spider web and with crickets he'd collide.

                        G                D           D
'Til one day Herbert's father took his speeding son aside

G                                                 D
Have patience, have patience Don't be in such a hurry,

                                            G
When you get impatient, you only start to worry.

                                         C
Remember, remember, that God is patient, too.

      D                                                  G
And think of all the times when others have to wait for you.

G                                                 D
As you can well imagine, there's a moral to this tale,

                                                   G
Some of you may find yourselves behind a creeping snail

                                              C
So if you get impatient, and you're easily disturbed,

                   G               D              G
Think about this little song and take a tip from Herb
