Timing Like the Lake

(Verse 1) Yeah I was riding down Woodward with the windows low Cold air hit my face, let the pressure go Used to chase deadlines, now I chase peace Used to want it overnight, now I let it breathe Grandma said, “Baby, don’t force what’s yours What’s written won’t miss you, just open doors” I was stressed ‘bout the numbers, stressed ‘bout the wait Now I’m learning how to trust in a higher pace I done seen winters turn into bloom Gray skies clearing up room by room If it’s heavy on your chest, let it fall from your hands You don’t gotta understand all the plans (Pre-Chorus) Every setback felt like a closed gate Every loss felt a little too late But the road got a rhythm I can’t debate When I let go weight, it elevate (Chorus) Give it to God, I promise His timing is great I was moving too fast, He was teaching me how to wait What’s for me won’t pass, it’ll show up right on the date I just breathe and relate Give it to God, I promise His timing is great Give it to God, don’t carry the world on your plate Every seed that you plant gotta grow at its own pace Sunshine after the rain, that’s the natural state I just trust and create Give it to God, I promise His timing is great (Verse 2) I was comparing my chapter to somebody else’s page That’ll steal your joy at any age Scrolling through wins that ain’t even mine Forgetting my blessings right in my line Had to unplug just to plug in faith Had to slow my roll just to find my lane You can’t rush the roots if you want that tree Deep foundation build longevity Remember nights I was losing sleep Asking why my grind feel steep Now I see the lesson in the delay Preparation hiding in the gray (Pre-Chorus) Every detour shaped my frame Every storm just watered the grain I don’t trip when it don’t go my way ‘Cause I know what’s mine gon’ stay (Chorus) Give it to God, I promise His timing is great I was moving too fast, He was teaching me how to wait What’s for me won’t pass, it’ll show up right on the date I just breathe and relate Give it to God, I promise His timing is great Give it to God, don’t carry the world on your plate Every seed that you plant gotta grow at its own pace Sunshine after the rain, that’s the natural state I just trust and create Give it to God, I promise His timing is great (Bridge – Spoken, laid back) Look… You ever notice how the lake don’t rush to the shore? It just moves how it’s supposed to. That’s how life feel when you stop forcing it. Trust the Author, not just the story. (Outro Chorus – Soft, layered vocals) Give it to God, I promise His timing is great Even when you feel stuck, that’s just molding your faith Everything aligning, it’s never too early or late Just breathe… it’s okay Give it to God, I promise His timing is great.
