Lyrics

Intro (spoken, barely above a thought)

I didn’t come looking for answers…

I just needed somewhere to sit with You.

⸻

Verse 1

I’ve been praying all this season

Not with words, just with time

Leaving space where fear was living

Letting You finish the line

I stopped asking for the feeling

Started asking for the truth

If You’re here in the stillness

Then I’m already close to You

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a sign in the sky

I don’t need thunder or flame

If peace is how You arrive

Then I recognize Your name

⸻

Chorus

I’ve been praying

In ways I never knew how

Not for everything to change

Just for me to slow down

If this is conversion

Let it happen quietly

I’m not becoming someone else

I’m becoming more me

⸻

Verse 2

I laid down what I was carrying

Some of it wasn’t even mine

Stopped rehearsing my worries

Stopped arguing with time

I thought faith would feel louder

But it feels like coming home

Like I don’t have to explain myself

To be fully known

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

You don’t rush the healing

You don’t force belief

You wait until the heart is ready

And then You speak

⸻

Chorus

I’ve been praying

In the language of rest

Learning how to listen

More than I confess

If this is conversion

Let it stay gentle in me

I’m not losing who I was

I’m finally free

⸻

Bridge (drop instruments — piano only)

If You’re not asking me to run

Then I’ll walk with You

If You’re not asking me to shout

Then I’ll stay true

⸻

Final Chorus (soft lift, not bigger)

I’ve been praying

And something has changed

Not the world — just the way

I carry my name

If this is conversion

I don’t need certainty

I just need this peace

To keep choosing me

⸻

Outro (spoken-sung)

I’m still learning…

But I’m listening.
