Worship offered in the gap — after the prayer, before the reply. It does not resolve the waiting; it stands inside it.

Lyrics
[Intro] The room is still The question isn’t I have prayed it every way I know No sudden light No clear direction Only one more step to go [Verse 1] I watched the daylight leave the window With the same words on my tongue I thought by now You would have spoken I thought the waiting would be done I’ve searched each silence for a meaning Turned every detail in my mind But faith is not predicting endings Or reading signs You never signed [Pre-Chorus] So I will not call You absent Just because You have been still You have never owed me answers But You’ve always kept Your will [Chorus] Before the answer comes Before the door gives way Before the night is finished And I know what I should say I will trust the hands that hold me When I cannot feel their touch You are worthy in the waiting Before the answer comes [Verse 2] There are prayers that changed the moment There are prayers that changed me first There are roads You never shortened But You met me through the worst Maybe mercy looks like patience Maybe love refuses haste Maybe what I call a setback Is a shelter made of grace I don’t need to name the reason I don’t need to understand I have seen enough behind me To place tomorrow in Your hands [Pre-Chorus] You were God before I asked You You’ll be God when this is through And the outcome of this story Will not change what I know of You [Chorus] Before the answer comes Before the door gives way Before the night is finished And I know what I should say I will trust the hands that hold me When I cannot feel their touch You are worthy in the waiting Before the answer comes [Bridge] If You say stay I will stay here If You say move I will move If You say nothing I will listen I have nothing left to prove You are not late You are not careless You are working out of sight And even if the morning tarries You will keep me through the night [Build] My faith is not the answer My faith is who You are My hope is not the outcome My hope is who You are My peace is not in knowing My peace is who You are Jesus, who You are Is enough for where we are [Final Chorus] Before the answer comes Before the waters part Before the fear releases And the weight lifts from my heart I will worship without bargaining I will love You without terms You are worthy in the waiting Before the answer comes Before the answer comes I will call You faithful still For Your goodness is not measured By the granting of my will I will trust the hands that hold me When I cannot feel their touch You are worthy in the waiting Before the answer comes [Outro] The room is still The question isn’t But I am not alone You may not show me where this ends But You will lead me home
