Still Working

Lyrics

[Intro]

Nothing looks different
The door has not moved
The prayer is still hanging
Between me and You

But silence is not absence
And waiting is not proof
That nothing is happening
When I cannot see You move

[Verse 1]

I have mistaken motion for progress
And noise for evidence of grace
But roots do their deepest growing
In hidden, uncelebrated places

The seed does not question the darkness
Or demand to see the sun
It breaks beneath the surface
Before the rising has begun

So I will not dig up every promise
Just to check if it is alive
You have never needed my watching
To keep Your word in time

[Pre-Chorus]

What feels like nothing
May be mercy underground
You are building what can stand
Before You let it leave the ground

[Chorus]

You are still working
Where I cannot see
Still moving through the details
Still shaping what will be

You are still working
Though the room feels unchanged
Your hand has not been idle
Your purpose has not strayed

I may not see the evidence
But I know what You have done
You are still working
Until the work is done

[Verse 2]

Some answers arrive like lightning
Some come one inch at a time
Some healing happens in a moment
Some is measured over years of life

I wanted sudden transformation
A clean before-and-after line
But You have been rebuilding slowly
What fear dismantled over time

You are teaching me to notice
The strength returning quietly
The day I chose a wiser answer
The night that worry did not lead

The change may not be dramatic
But I am not where I began
There is courage in my footsteps
That was not there back then

[Pre-Chorus]

What I called delay
May be Your careful way
Of making me strong enough
To carry what I prayed

[Chorus]

You are still working
Where I cannot see
Still moving through the details
Still shaping what will be

You are still working
Though the room feels unchanged
Your hand has not been idle
Your purpose has not strayed

I may not see the evidence
But I know what You have done
You are still working
Until the work is done

[Bridge]

In the root before the flower
In the stone before it falls
In the silence before Samuel
Recognized the voice that called

In the prison before Joseph
Saw the reason for the years
In the field before young David
Knew the throne was drawing near

You have always used the hidden
You have always formed in wait
What looks buried in one season
May be planted there by grace

[Build]

Still working in my family
Still working in my mind
Still working through the damage
I thought would define my life

Still working in the closed door
Still working through the loss
Still working in the places
Where obedience has cost

I do not need to hurry You
I do not need control
The hands that shaped creation
Are still working on my soul

[Final Chorus]

You are still working
Where I cannot see
Still gathering every fragment
Still redeeming history

You are still working
When the answer has no name
Your hand has not grown weary
Your heart has never changed

I may not see the evidence
But Your faithfulness is enough
You are still working
When the road is long and rough

You are still working
Through every unfinished part
And what You have begun in me
You will complete by grace

[Outro]

Nothing looks different
But I am learning truth

You do not stop working
Because I cannot see You move
