Not Running Late

I used to think I was behind

But maybe I’m just being built

If God is in the process, then I’m not running late,

Growing through the pressure, walking through the weight,

Had to fight my overthinking, step out of my way,

I’m not perfect, I’m in progress, stronger than yesterday.

I got faith for the climb, got a fire I won’t waste,

Got a heart that wants to help when somebody needs a place,

Still becoming who I’m called to be, one prayer, one day,

If God is in the process, then I’m not running late.

I had nights where my mind ran laps,

Thinking too much, couldn’t turn it back,

Confidence low but the dreams stayed high,

Had a little spark that I kept inside.

Trying to move different, live different,

Build discipline, be consistent,

Not just talk about change, I want proof,

Faith in my heart and my feet in my shoes.

Early mornings, long shifts, still I show,

Little by little, that’s how I grow,

I don’t need the whole road lit right now,

Just one more step and I won’t back down.

I’m not chasing a name just to look like a star,

I’m trying to be someone with an open heart,

Someone you can call when the day gets heavy,

Someone who says, “I got you,” and means it steady.

I’ve been down, but I’m not done,

Still got grace when I mess up,

Learning strength ain’t always loud,

Sometimes faith just stands its ground.

If God is in the process, then I’m not running late,

Growing through the pressure, walking through the weight,

Had to fight my overthinking, step out of my way,

I’m not perfect, I’m in progress, stronger than yesterday.

I got faith for the climb, got a fire I won’t waste,

Got a heart that wants to help when somebody needs a place,

Still becoming who I’m called to be, one prayer, one day,

If God is in the process, then I’m not running late.

Mile-high dreams with my head in the clouds,

But real growth happens here on the ground,

Had to quit waiting on a perfect mood,

Had to start showing up when it’s hard to move.

Trying to get healthier, body and soul,

Less “I can’t,” more “God, take control,”

Less doubt in the mirror, more peace in my chest,

Less running from the work, more giving my best.

I got ideas in my notes, songs in my mind,

Trying to make light out of late-night drives,

Maybe what I create could help someone heal,

Maybe my story can show what’s real.

So I’ll keep building, brick by brick,

Even when progress don’t come quick,

Make me steady, make me kind,

Give me peace inside my mind.

Make me strong enough to stand,

And soft enough to lend a hand,

If You’re still working, I’ll keep faith,

I know I’m not running late.

Not behind, I’m being shaped,

Not lost, I’m on my way,

MileHighNick, grounded in grace,

If God is in the process, then I’m not running late.
