As Long As It Takes
Enduring Patience: Embracing the Journey in Meredith Andrews' 'As Long As It Takes'
Lyrics
I'm tired, do I have to keep proving myself
I feel exhausted, and I question if I must continually prove myself.
I'm weary and drawing from an empty well
I am tired and drawing strength from an empty source.
I need You more than I ever have
I need You more now than ever before.
So Jesus come and shatter my darkness somehow
Asking Jesus to come and dispel the darkness in my life.
I won't speak until You speak
Committing to silence until I hear from You.
I won't move until You move me
Committing to stillness until You prompt me to move.
I won't sing, sing over me
Committing not to sing unless Your song is over me.
I will wait as long as it takes
Expressing willingness to wait for as long as necessary.
I'm restless for something significant
Feeling a restlessness for something significant.
But I'm helpless cause I've done all I can
Feeling helpless because I've done all I can.
I want You more than I ever have
Expressing a deep desire for You more than ever before.
So Jesus come and hold me, I'm shaking right now
Inviting Jesus to hold me, especially in a shaky moment.
I won't speak until You speak
Promising not to speak until I hear Your words.
I won't move until You move me
Promising not to move until You guide my steps.
I won't sing, sing over me
Promising not to sing unless Your song is sung over me.
I will wait as long as it takes
Reiterating the commitment to wait patiently.
You are the Comforter so comfort me
Acknowledging Jesus as the Comforter and seeking comfort.
You're the Sustainer so be enough for me
Recognizing Jesus as the Sustainer and asking for His sufficiency.
You are my Father and Your love for me
Acknowledging God as a Father and finding rest in His love.
Is where I find my rest
Finding rest in the love of God, as it's the source of peace.
I won't speak until You speak
Reiterating the commitment to silence until hearing from You.
I won't move until You move me
Reiterating the commitment not to move until guided by You.
I won't sing, sing over me
Reiterating the commitment not to sing without Your song over me.
I will wait as long as it takes
Reiterating the willingness to wait patiently for as long as needed.
