Prompt / Lyrics
I’ve been walking with a weight I didn’t know how to name Carrying yesterday’s failures and tomorrow’s pain Some nights I lay awake wondering how I’m still here How I made it through seasons that tried to break me with fear But when the world felt heavy and my knees finally bent You were closer than the breath in my chest I didn’t hear thunder, didn’t see fire fall Just a steady kind of peace when I needed it most of all You didn’t fix everything right away You just stayed with me through it, day after day When my thoughts turned dark and my hope felt thin You were the quiet strength pulling me back in You’ve been my protector when I didn’t see the danger My guide when the road made me feel like a stranger You’ve been my comfort when words wouldn’t come My strength when I had no strength left to run You’ve been the light when the night felt long The mercy that met me when everything went wrong I’ve tried to do it on my own more times than I can count Tried to carry the load till my hands gave out I thought faith meant having all the answers in sight But You showed me it’s trusting You one step at a time Not every prayer was answered the way I hoped But every single one reminded me I wasn’t alone There were days I questioned if You were still near Days I let doubt speak louder than truth I could hear But looking back now, I can clearly see You were working in ways that were hidden from me You were shaping my heart, steady and slow Teaching me things I needed to know You’ve been my protector when I didn’t see the danger My guide when the road made me feel like a stranger You’ve been my comfort when words wouldn’t come My strength when I had no strength left to run You’ve been the light when the night felt long The mercy that met me when everything went wrong I’ve felt You in the quiet, not the noise In the gentle pull of a still, small voice Not pushing, not forcing, not breaking me down Just reminding me You’re always around When I felt unworthy, when shame spoke loud You covered me with grace, not judgment or doubt I’ve learned that faith isn’t being fearless It’s moving forward even when the way’s unclear It’s trusting Your heart when mine feels weak Believing You’re working even when I can’t see It’s waking up grateful for one more day Knowing You’ll meet me along the way If tomorrow brings trouble I can’t prepare for I know I won’t face it alone anymore Not because I’ve got it all figured out But because I know Who walks with me through the doubt So I’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other Led by my Savior, my Father, my comforter This life I’m living isn’t something I earned It’s proof of mercy I didn’t deserve And every step forward, every breath I take Is held together by the promises You make
