Aaron Cole + TobyMac - Right On Time Lyrics
Lyrics
[Aaron Cole:]
Don't worry
Just lay it down, it's not your fight
Don't worry
It'll be alright
Don't worry
He will make your heavy light
Don't worry at all, worry at all
His love is always right on time
I been tryna figure out my own way
Tryna put it all on me
Weighed down at the pressure
Without looking up, I know you see me cause
On and on and on you keep blessing me
But on and on and on I keep worrying
Why I'm always running when you're telling me
You're telling me
Don't worry
Just lay it down, it's not your fight
Don't worry
It'll be alright
Don't worry
He will make your heavy light
Don't worry at all, worry at all
His love is always right on time
Right on time
[TobyMac:]
Rise up, get clean, threw 'em on like I'mma wear em
Ain't got the shoulders for these burdens I'm bearing
Broke down and pulling over by the wayside
Was never made for this type of weight so I
Throw my hands up and my load gets lighter
I throw my hands up and then burn like fire
Float up to heaven like the smoke in the air
I flip my worries into prayers, leave 'em right there
[Aaron Cole & TobyMac:]
Don't worry
Just lay it down, it's not your fight
Don't worry
It'll be alright (yeah, it'll be alright)
Don't worry
He will make your heavy light
Don't worry at all, worry at all
His love is always right on time (right on time, right on time)
Right on time (right on time, right on time)
[TobyMac:]
Tell 'em A-Cole
[Aaron Cole & TobyMac:]
Yeah, I know your problems seem God sized
If you can see 'em through God eyes (take a looksie)
If you could only see em through God's eyes, yeah (c'mon, c'mon)
I know your problems seem God sized
If you can see 'em through God's eyes (take a looksie)
Yeah, he's right on time, right on time
Don't worry
Just lay it down, it's not your fight
Don't worry
It'll be alright (be alright)
Don't worry
He will make your heavy light
Don't worry at all, worry at all
His love is always right
Don't worry at all, worry at all
His love is always right on time (right on time, right on time)
Right on time (right on time, right on time)
Right on time (right on time, right on time)
Right on time (right on time, right on time)
Right on time (on and on, you're carrying me)
Right on time (right on time, right on time)
Right on time (can't thank you enough that you're right on time)
Right on time (yeah, yeah)

Meaning & Inspiration
Aaron Cole's collaboration with veteran artist TobyMac on "Right On Time," released in September 2017, arrives as a powerful anthem of divine timing and unwavering faithfulness. The song delves deep into the truth that God's plans unfold perfectly, even when our own understanding lags behind. It speaks to the human tendency to rush ahead, to question delays, and to doubt when circumstances don't immediately align with our expectations. However, "Right On Time" serves as a timely reminder that God operates on a grander timescale, His wisdom far surpassing our own limited perspective. The core message resonates with the profound comfort found in Romans 8:28, which assures believers that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This biblical bedrock underpins the song's encouragement to trust the process, knowing that every season, every setback, and every answered prayer arrives precisely when it's meant to, orchestrated by a loving Creator. The lyrics encourage a posture of patient anticipation, echoing the sentiment of Psalm 27:14: "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." This isn't a passive waiting, but an active faith, a conscious choice to believe in God's unfailing goodness and perfect orchestration of our lives. The song beautifully illustrates how perceived delays are often opportunities for growth, for a deeper reliance on Him, and for the revelation of His strength in our weakness, as Paul articulates in 2 Corinthians 12:9: "But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’" Therefore, "Right On Time" becomes more than just a song; it's an invitation to rest in the assurance that God’s timing is not only perfect but also purposeful, working all things together for His glory and our ultimate good.
