(Intro – soft keys + triumphant bass)
Yeah…
I almost gave up…
But He gave more.
I waited…
And it was worth it.

(Verse 1 – peaceful & strong)
I sat in the quiet, prayed in the dark,
When answers delayed and hope fell apart.
I stayed when the voices told me run,
Held on when it felt like nothin’ would come.

But time don’t scare the Author of time,
And peace grew slow like a holy vine.
While they sprinted, I bowed down low,
And found strength that don’t even show.

They mocked the still, they chased the fast,
But now I’m walkin’ in what lasts.
I waited — yeah, it wasn’t quick…
But when it came, it all just clicked.

(Hook – victorious & bold)
I waited, and it was worth it,
Every tear had a purpose beneath the surface.
He moved in time, not by hype,
And filled my soul with Kingdom life.
I waited, through storm and flame,
Now I rise in Jesus’ name.
Didn’t rush, didn’t fake, didn’t quit…
I waited…
And now I’m lit.

(Verse 2 – grateful & reflective)
It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t clean,
But faith grew deep where hope had been.
No shortcuts — just sacred grind,
Built in silence by design.

I watched ‘em glow, watched ‘em burn,
But I stayed put and let Him turn
My pain to oil, my tears to seed,
Now I move in holy speed.

Didn’t miss what passed me by,
God was waitin’ on His why.
Now the door He made for me
Can’t be touched by enemy.

(Hook – repeat stronger)
I waited, and it was worth it,
Every tear had a purpose beneath the surface.
He moved in time, not by hype,
And filled my soul with Kingdom life.
I waited, through storm and flame,
Now I rise in Jesus’ name.
Didn’t rush, didn’t fake, didn’t quit…
I waited…
And now I’m lit.

(Bridge – spoken with peace)
If you’re still waitin’…
Don’t walk away.
He sees it.
And He’s worth it.

(Verse 3 – full circle)
I remember when I first sat still,
Wrestled thoughts, fought my will.
But now I see why He delayed,
He was buildin’ what don’t fade.

I don’t regret a single pause,
Cause every hold had holy cause.
And what I carry now is weight,
Fruit from seasons full of faith.

So this is more than just a win,
This is where true life begins.
I waited — not ‘cause I’m strong…
But ‘cause I knew…
He won’t take long.

(Final Hook – anthem close)
I waited, and it was worth it,
Every tear had a purpose beneath the surface.
He moved in time, not by hype,
And filled my soul with Kingdom life.
I waited, through storm and flame,
Now I rise in Jesus’ name.
Didn’t rush, didn’t fake, didn’t quit…
I waited…
And now I’m lit.

(Outro – soft piano + whispered echo)
So if you’re in that quiet place…
Don’t lose heart.
I waited…
And He came through.
