[Verse 1]
Even when it’s dark and quiet
And every door feels shut in my face
I whisper
“Lord
What are You doing?”
You whisper back
“Child
This is grace”
I see the line keep moving forward
I’m stuck standing in my place
But You’re working in the waiting
You’re hiding me inside Your embrace
[Chorus]
Delays are protection
Detours are preparation
Closed doors are redirection
You’re still guiding me
You’re still guiding me
If it isn’t time yet
Then it isn’t rejection
You’re guarding my heart with
A better direction
Delays are protection
You’re still guiding me
[Verse 2]
Every road I thought was promised
Turned into a dead-end sign
But every “no” that left me broken
Led me to a sweeter “yes” in time
So I will rest right in Your timing
I’ll lay my questions at Your feet
‘Cause if You’re blocking what I’m chasing
You’ve got something more for me
[Chorus]
Delays are protection
Detours are preparation
Closed doors are redirection
You’re still guiding me
You’re still guiding me
If it isn’t time yet
Then it isn’t rejection
You’re guarding my heart with
A better direction
Delays are protection
You’re still guiding me (oh, You’re guiding me)
