Be Patient With Me

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

[Intro]
Please be patient with me
God is still building me
Yeah…
Under construction

[Hook]
Please be patient with me
God is still building me
Working on my heart
Working on what people don’t see

Please be patient with me
God is still building me
I’m not finished yet
But His hand is still on me

[Verse 1]
Some walls had to come down
Some cracks had to show
Some things I kept covered
God said had to go
I smiled through the damage
Acted like I was fine
But God saw the broken places
I kept hiding deep inside
He started pulling up old roots
Tearing out my pride
Teaching me how to heal
Instead of just survive
And it don’t always feel good
When He’s changing me
But I know what He’s building
Will be worth what He sees

[Hook]
Please be patient with me
God is still building me
Working on my heart
Working on what people don’t see

Please be patient with me
God is still building me
I’m not finished yet
But His hand is still on me

[Verse 2]
He’s rebuilding my thinking
He’s restoring my peace
Fixing how I love
And how I speak
Breaking old habits
Teaching me grace
Showing me mercy
Right in my face
Some days it’s slow
Some days it’s hard
Some days I feel
Like I won’t get far
But every little step
Is proof enough to me
God is not done
He’s still building me

[Bridge]
Brick by brick
Day by day
He’s making me better
In His own way

Slow work
Deep work
Real change
Under the surface

[Hook]
Please be patient with me
God is still building me
Working on my heart
Working on what people don’t see

Please be patient with me
God is still building me
I’m not finished yet
But His hand is still on me

[Vamp]
Under construction
Still under construction
Don’t judge me now
God is still touching me

Under construction
Still under construction
He ain’t done yet
He’s still working on me

[Outro]
So if you see progress
Give God the glory
If you see weakness
Pray for me
’Cause I’m under construction
And God is building me
