Faith For Right Now

Lyrics

[Intro]

The clock keeps moving
The screen keeps glowing
Another headline enters the room

But this breath is still mine
This hour is still open
And I will not give it away to doom

[Verse 1]

The coffee went cold beside the paperwork
Three missed calls and a red past-due stamp
I caught myself building a whole disaster
From one hard morning and one bad month

I had already buried the future
Before noon had finished its turn
Then Your voice cut through my forecasting:
“Live the lesson this day has to learn”

You did not give me next December
You gave me breakfast, breath, and truth
Enough courage to answer this moment
Enough light to do what is due

[Pre-Chorus]

I will not spend today
Paying debts to things
That have not happened

[Chorus]

Give me faith for right now
For the call I have to make
For the truth I have avoided
For the habit I must break

Give me faith for right now
Not a grand and distant vow
Just the strength to choose what honors You
In the life I’m living now

[Verse 2]

There is no crowd in this decision
No swelling music in the hall
Just me deleting one old number
And refusing one more fall

It looks small from the outside
No one may ever know
But heaven sees the private turning
Where a different future grows

Faith can look like paying what I owe
Saying “I was wrong” without defense
Turning down the easy money
Leaving before the line gets crossed again

[Pre-Chorus]

I do not need a perfect week
To make one honest choice

[Chorus]

Give me faith for right now
For the call I have to make
For the truth I have avoided
For the habit I must break

Give me faith for right now
Not a grand and distant vow
Just the strength to choose what honors You
In the life I’m living now

[Bridge]

For the five minutes after anger
For the second chance to pause
For the courage not to answer
Every insult with a war

For the grocery aisle decision
When the money does not stretch
For the kindness no one notices
For the promise I must keep

For the room where I feel smaller
For the table where I’m ignored
For the hour when temptation
Makes the old life sound like home

Meet me in the actual minute
Not the version I rehearse
Make belief become behavior
Before it ever becomes words

[Breakdown]

This minute matters
This answer matters
This doorway matters
This choice matters

Not someday
Not somehow
Give me faith
For right now

[Final Chorus]

Give me faith for right now
For the work beneath my name
For the people in my keeping
For the damage I can change

Give me faith for right now
When tomorrow speaks too loud
Let obedience become my answer
In the life I’m living now

Give me faith for right now
No borrowed strength, no empty sound
Just enough to take the truest step
With both feet on the ground

[Outro]

The clock keeps moving
The screen keeps glowing

But this hour is still open

And I will not waste it
