The Lyrics
I've been standing at a door that hasn't opened
Counting seasons while the others move ahead
And I asked You in the quiet, almost broken
Have You forgotten every word You said
Then I heard You gentle as the morning come
I'm not holding back, I'm getting you ready, love
You're not making me wait
You're making me ready
Every silent day, You're holding me steady
What feels like a no is a not yet, not now
You're shaping the hands that will carry it out
Delay isn't denial, I'll trust what You do
Never early, never late, You're right on time, it's true
In the waiting You are building something hidden
A deeper root before You give the bloom
By the time it comes I won't be who I've been
I'll have room to hold it, I'll be made new
So I'll lay my timeline down and let it be
You're not withholding good, You're preparing me
You're not making me wait
You're making me ready
Every silent day, You're holding me steady
What feels like a no is a not yet, not now
You're shaping the hands that will carry it out
Delay isn't denial, I'll trust what You do
Never early, never late, You're right on time, it's true
Develop me in the dark for the day You deploy
Let the wait do its work, let it finish its joy
What You promised me, You will perform
The wait does not cancel the word, I'm holding on
You're not making me wait
You're making me ready
Right on time, right on time, You're holding me steady
I'll bloom in the season You planned all along
The wait wasn't wasted, it was making me strong
Never early, never late
I'll trust You, You're right on time
Right on time, right on time
I'll trust You, You're right on time
