[Verse 1: Full Band, Walking Bass, Rhythm Guitar & Horn Fills, Smooth Female, Ballad]
I’ve been praying for a sign,
Watching days turn into nights,
Still believing You’re on time
Even when it don’t feel right.
Got a need I can’t ignore,
Got questions knocking at my door,
But I’ve learned what trust is for—
To breathe and not demand the more.
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t see it yet,
But I ain’t shaken, no
Faith don’t panic when
The answer’s slow.
[Chorus]
I’m calm without the conclusion,
At peace without the proof,
I’m steady in this moment
‘Cause my hope is rooted in You.
I don’t need the ending
To know You’ll come through,
I’m calm without the conclusion,
Still trusting You.
[Verse 2]
I won’t pause my joy on hold,
Waiting for the story told,
I’ll live free, I’ll love bold,
Not scared of what I don’t control.
If You’re silent, You’re still near,
If You’re quiet, I won’t fear,
You’ve been faithful year to year,
So I’ll worship right here.
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re already at the end
While I’m stuck in the now,
So I’ll walk by faith again
Not asking how.
[Chorus]
I’m calm without the conclusion,
At rest without a clue,
I don’t need a guarantee
To keep my faith in You.
Even in the waiting,
You’re doing what You do,
I’m calm without the conclusion,
Still trusting You.
[Chorus]
I’m calm without the conclusion,
At peace without the proof,
I’m steady in this moment
‘Cause my hope is rooted in You.
I don’t need the ending
To know You’ll come through,
I’m calm without the conclusion,
Still trusting You.
[Rap Verse]
I ain’t gotta see tomorrow just to trust You today,
I ain’t gotta know the route when You’re leading the way.
No answer in my hand, still got peace in my soul,
I learned faith gets stronger when I give You control.
I prayed about it, now I’m leaving it there,
No pacing the floor like You didn’t hear my prayer.
[Outro]
So I’ll wait…
With a smile, not fear,
‘Cause You’re already here.
I’m Calm Without the Conclusion
You’re Calm Without the Conclusion
Calm Without the Conclusion
