Waiting on the Yes

Verse 1

Every door I knock on answers no,

Every road I pray on feels real slow.

I keep planting seeds I never see grow,

Learning faith don’t always move on my tempo.

I thought by now I’d see the sign,

Thought the breakthrough would be right on time.

But the silence keeps stretching my breath,

Still I trust what He said, not what I feel next.

Pre-Chorus

If the no’s are shaping me,

Then I’ll let them do their work.

Chorus

I’ll trust You when my days are filled with no’s,

When the waiting’s long and nothing shows.

I’ll keep showing up, heart still open,

Believing You’re closer than I know.

I won’t quit just ’cause I don’t see progress yet,

I’ll wait with faith for the promised yes.

Verse 2

Every closed door’s teaching me grace,

How to stand without losing my pace.

I’ve learned obedience ain’t loud or fast,

Sometimes it’s holding on when the moment won’t pass.

I don’t need answers to every why,

I just need peace while the clock ticks by.

If You’re working where I can’t see,

Then this waiting room is holy to me.

Pre-Chorus

If You’re building something deep inside,

I’ll stay right here till You say move.

Chorus

I’ll trust You when my days are filled with no’s,

When the waiting’s long and nothing shows.

I’ll keep showing up, heart still open,

Believing You’re closer than I know.

I won’t quit just ’cause I don’t see progress yet,

I’ll wait with faith for the promised yes.

Bridge

I’ve seen You turn delay into design,

What felt like loss became perfect timing.

If You’re silent, You’re not absent,

If You’re slow, You’re still present.

Every no is not rejection,

It’s preparation in disguise.

Breakdown (spoken / half-sung)

I don’t need the yes today…

I just need the strength to stay.

Final Chorus

I’ll trust You when my days are filled with no’s,

When hope feels thin and patience grows.

I’ll keep believing what You said,

Even when the answer hasn’t shown.

I won’t rush the work You’re doing in me yet,

I’ll wait—steady, faithful—for the yes.

Outro

So I’ll breathe, and I’ll rest,

In the God who knows what’s best.

Every no is leading me closer…

To the yes.
