[Intro – Piano + footsteps, steady and calm] I used to think I was behind. Like God was clockin’ me against somebody else’s pace. But the Spirit slowed me down and said— “Stay facing Me.” (Kick enters. Solid.) ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 I seen people run past me talkin’ ‘bout they called, Fast faith, loud steps, still scared to fall. I tried to match speed, lost breath, lost peace, Forgot this walk ain’t built for sprintin’ feet. I was rushin’ repentance, hurryin’ growth, Tryna look healed before I knew hope. But heaven ain’t nervous, God ain’t late, He not impressed by how fast I race. So I stopped clock-watchin’, stopped comparin’, Checked my heart—made sure I’m still carin’. ‘Cause a slow “yes” mean more than a fast display, If my face still turned the right way. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Choir calm, assured] 🎶 Not fast—faithful, that’s the call, Still walkin’ upright even when I crawl. God don’t rush me, He reshape me still— Not fast—faithful… and aligned with His will. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 I learned direction weigh more than stride, Orientation louder than pride. A soul turned right but movin’ slow Still closer than one that run and go. Grace ain’t a stopwatch, grace a hand, Liftin’ me up when I can’t stand. It don’t replace effort, it empower it, Give strength to feet that feel counterfeit. So when my progress don’t look like theirs, I don’t panic, I don’t despair. If today all I did was choose Him again— That’s faithfulness, not a trend. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Choir fuller, gentle lift] 🎶 Not fast—faithful, still in line, Covenant heart, even halting time. He don’t measure miles, He measure trust— Not fast—faithful… and that’s enough. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – French Tenor, clear and reverent] 🎶 Je ne cours pas, mais je Te suis, (I do not run, but I follow You,) Chaque pas lent est un oui. (Each slow step is a yes.) Tu vois mon cœur, pas ma vitesse, (You see my heart, not my speed,) Je reste fidèle—et Tu me dresses. (I remain faithful—and You strengthen me.) 🎶 (Strings rise softly, like assurance settling in.) ⸻ [Verse 3 – Spoken-rap, settled confidence] 🎶 I had to unlearn hurry as holiness. God ain’t anxious about my becoming. He work in seasons, not seconds. Lines upon lines. Precepts on precepts. I ain’t behind— I’m being built. So I keep showin’ up, keep facin’ right, Trustin’ grace to add strength in time. If He want speed, He’ll give it when ready— Till then, my walk steady. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Hook – Choir + strings, confident resolve] 🎶 Not fast—faithful, still I stand, Eyes on Christ, life in His hands. I may move slow, but I’m movin’ true— Not fast—faithful… He’ll carry me through. 🎶 French Tenor (held, peaceful certainty): 🎶 Fidèle jusqu’au bout. (Faithful to the end.) 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano resolves, footsteps continue] Yeah… I’m not late. I’m not lost. I’m just learnin’ how to walk with God without rushin’ Him.

NOT FAST—FAITHFUL
