There’s a tension in my spirit, like a war beneath my skin,
I’ve been searching for the reason while You shape me from within.
Every door that ever closed felt like another dream departed,
Every scar became a chapter in a story still unfinished.
I was begging for direction, You were building my discernment,
I was focused on the outcome, You were focused on the person.
Looking at the fragments, tryna force them into place,
While You painted something bigger than my finite mind could trace.
Cause You put eternity inside a temporal frame,
So my soul keeps reaching forward while my flesh remains restrained.
Got a longing I can’t name, got a hunger I can’t feed,
Like I’m homesick for a kingdom that these eyes have never seen.
Hook
If You’re making all things beautiful, why’s it hurting like this?
Why’s the promise feel distant when I’m holding onto it?
I know You’re working in the silence, even when I can’t perceive,
But faith is hard when all I have is what I cannot see.

Verse 2
I confused the waiting room with being left behind,
Counted every setback as a sign You changed Your mind.
Questioned every season when the winter wouldn’t break,
Never realizing roots grow deeper underneath the weight.
I was asking for the mountain while You taught me how to climb,
Fighting for control while You were teaching me to trust Your time.
Wanted revelation, wanted every answer in my hand,
But maturity is trusting even when I don’t understand.
Looking through a mirror dimly, seeing shadows of the whole,
Trying to map eternity with limits on my soul.
Yet every tear I thought was wasted, every night I couldn’t sleep,
Became another stone of mercy in the testimony You’d keep.
Bridge
Then I looked behind me…

Verse 3
Every heartbreak had a purpose, every valley had a voice,
Every loss became a lesson that was shaping future joys.
Every delay was preparation, every wound refined the gold,
Every chapter felt abandoned till I saw the story told.
You were faithful in the silence, faithful in the storm,
Faithful when the pressure hit and everything transformed.
What I thought was devastation was construction in disguise,
Cause the Architect was building what these human eyes couldn’t find.
Now I stand a little older, seeing pieces intertwine,
Realizing all the beauty needed more than just one night.
Cause You make all things beautiful, but beauty takes design,
And what felt late from where I stood was perfect in Your time.
Outro
You put eternity in my chest…
So I’d keep chasing You…
Until time finally meets eternity.
