Even If

I have asked You for the morning

When the night would never end

I’ve held onto every promise Wondering when it would begin

I have prayed for doors to open I’ve knocked until my hands

were sore And sometimes all I hear is silence When I was

hoping

for so much more

But faith is more than getting what I ask

And trust is more than knowing what comes next

Even if You don’t change this

Even if the answer’s no

Even if I can’t see clearly

Where You want me to go

Even if the road is longer

Than I ever thought it’d be

Even if You don’t explain it

I will still believe (I will still believe) I have watched the

plans I carried

Fall apart in front of me

I’ve wondered why the life I pictured Doesn’t look like what I

see I’ve heard that pain means I am failing That I must

have missed Your voice But You never asked me to pretend

That suffering was my choice So I won’t call the breaking blessing

Just because I know You can

I can tell You that I’m hurting And still place it in

Your hands

I don’t have to hide the questions

To prove that I have faith I can bring You all my

weakness And still believe Your name

If You heal me,

I will praise You If You don’t,

I will praise You If You open every door Or if You

lead me somewhere new

If I get the life I dreamed of Or You write a

different story You are still the God I trusted Before I knew

what this would be

I don’t worship for the blessing I don’t love You for the

yes You are worthy in the waiting You are worthy in the

mess Even if You don’t change this Even if the answer’s no

Even if I’m still here waiting Years from now,

I won’t let go

Even if my dreams look different Even if I’ve changed along the

way Even if I have no answers You are still the God

I praise

Even if I walk through valleys I don’t have to walk alone

Even if I cannot see it I know You are still on

Your throne

I may not understand it But I know what I believe Even

if, Even if, Even if You are still here

with me. So I won’t promise I won’t question I won’t promise

I won’t cry

I will only promise this— I will choose You one more time.

Even if.
