I Will Not Wait To Worship

Lyrics

[Intro]

I will not wait
For the weight to lift
I will not wait
For the road to clear

You are still God
In the middle of this
And You are still worthy here

[Verse 1]

I kept saving praise for the ending
For the day every promise came true
As though worship belonged to the victory
And not to the valley You carried me through

I told myself I would sing when I saw it
When the answer stood plain in my hands
But faith does not rise from possession
It rises from knowing the One who commands

[Pre-Chorus]

So before the walls fall
Before the sea moves
Before I can point to the proof

[Chorus]

I will not wait to worship
I will not wait to praise
You were good before this trouble
You will still be good when it breaks

I will not wait for morning
To bless You through the night
You are worthy in the darkness
You are worthy in the light

[Verse 2]

There are days when my voice comes out trembling
And my confidence feels worn thin
But a song does not have to be fearless
To rise as an offering

I have seen You remain through the changes
When people and plans disappeared
You never abandoned the silence
You stayed when nobody else stayed near

So I will not make You prove Yourself
Every time the weather turns
I have history enough to trust You
And scars enough to know what I’ve learned

[Pre-Chorus]

Before the door opens
Before the word comes
Before I can see what You’ve done

[Chorus]

I will not wait to worship
I will not wait to praise
You were good before this trouble
You will still be good when it breaks

I will not wait for morning
To bless You through the night
You are worthy in the darkness
You are worthy in the light

[Bridge]

Though the fig tree does not blossom
Though the field gives back no grain
Though the work of all my hoping
Seems to vanish in a day

Still I will rejoice before You
Still my lips will speak Your name
My worship is not rented
By the comfort of my days

You do not lose Your glory
When my life does not make sense
You do not cease being holy
When I cannot see the end

[Build]

Right now
Right here
With tears still near

I choose praise

No proof
No sign
Just trust this time

I choose praise

Not later
Not someday
In this unfinished place

I choose praise

[Final Chorus]

I will not wait to worship
I will not wait to sing
You are not the God of outcomes
You are Lord of everything

I will not wait for morning
To bless You through the night
You are worthy in the questions
You are worthy in the fight

I will not wait to worship
Till every fear is gone
I will build an altar here
And turn this waiting into song

[Outro]

I will not wait
For the weight to lift

You are still God
In the middle of this

And You are still worthy here
