Ben Fuller - Yet To Come Lyrics
Lyrics
They're coming
They're coming
Started the race with that look in my eyes
Like nothing could break me with God on my side
But life has a way to keep wearing you down
And before you know it that fire burns out
I could give up, give in and say that it's over
But I feel Your hand on my shoulder
And suddenly, I'm not afraid
Suddenly, I'm not afraid
I'm gonna hope when
All that I'm feeling is hopeless
Something inside of me knows that
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
I'll keep going
Trusting You moment-to-moment
Building and breaking and growing
God, I know You've just begun
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
You say I'm worthy and I'm not alone
Yeah. I've got a purpose and I've got a home
I'm far from perfect, Lord. I need Your grace
I know You love and You're here to stay
I'm gonna hope when
All that I'm feeling is hopeless
Something inside of me knows that
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
I'll keep going
Trusting You moment-to-moment
Building and breaking and growing
God, I know You've just begun
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
Give me that fire
Give me that song
Fill my desire
Fill up my lungs
You're all that I need
All that I want
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
Give me that fire
Give me that song
Fill my desire
Fill up my lungs
You're all that I need
All that I want
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
I'm gonna hope when
All that I'm feeling is hopeless
Something inside of me knows that
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
I'll keep going
Trusting You moment-to-moment
Building and breaking and growing
God, I know You've just begun
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming
The best days are still yet to come
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming

Ben Fuller - Yet To Come (Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Ben Fuller's latest release, "Yet To Come," from his upcoming album *Walk Through Fire*, available on June 6, 2025, arrives as a powerful anthem of perseverance and unwavering faith. This song isn't merely a collection of verses; it's a profound journey through the often-unseen struggles of the human spirit, ultimately anchored in the steadfast hope found in Christ. It immediately immerses us in a relatable narrative, starting with the bright-eyed zeal of faith's beginning, a time when the path felt clear and God's presence an unshakeable shield. Yet, the lyrics quickly acknowledge a universal truth: "life has a way to keep wearing you down," and the initial fervent "fire burns out," leaving one contemplating surrender. This honest depiction of spiritual fatigue resonates deeply, speaking to anyone who has felt their passion wane under the relentless pressure of daily challenges or prolonged trials.
The song pivots dramatically at the moment of potential despair, articulating a divine intervention that transforms doubt into determination. The sensation of feeling God's "hand on my shoulder" instantly dispels fear, a visceral reminder of His ever-present comfort and strength. This powerful image echoes Isaiah 41:10, where God assures us, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." It’s in this renewed courage that the central, life-affirming declaration emerges: "I'm gonna hope when / All that I'm feeling is hopeless / Something inside of me knows that / The best days are still yet to come." This isn't naive optimism but a Spirit-infused conviction, a testament to the hope that "does not put us to shame" (Romans 5:5), even when circumstances suggest otherwise. It's a testament to leaning into Jeremiah 29:11, trusting that God's plans for our future are always good, filled with hope, and designed for our flourishing.
Fuller continues to articulate a daily commitment to this hope, acknowledging that faith is an ongoing process of growth and refinement. The lines, "I'll keep going / Trusting You moment-to-moment / Building and breaking and growing," beautifully capture the dynamic journey of sanctification. This walk with God isn't static; it involves seasons of building up and, at times, breaking down, all under His careful guidance, shaping us into who He calls us to be, much like a potter with clay. This resonates with Lamentations 3:22-23, reminding us that God’s mercies are new every morning, providing the grace needed for each moment. The song then reaffirms the incredible truths of identity found in Christ: "You say I'm worthy and I'm not alone / Yeah. I've got a purpose and I've got a home." These are foundational promises that combat the lies of insignificance and isolation. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are "God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works," confirming our purpose, while Christ's promise of a heavenly "home" in John 14:2-3 anchors our ultimate belonging. The candid admission, "I'm far from perfect, Lord. I need Your grace," underscores our continual dependence on God's unmerited favor, an echo of Romans 3:23-24, where we are reminded that all are justified freely by His grace.
The song culminates in a passionate plea and declaration of complete reliance, moving beyond the personal struggle to a deeper yearning for spiritual replenishment. The repeated cry, "Give me that fire / Give me that song / Fill my desire / Fill up my lungs," is a heartfelt prayer for renewed passion, divine inspiration, and the very breath of God to fill one's being. It's a desire for the zeal described in Romans 12:11, to maintain spiritual fervor in serving the Lord. This fervent request morphs into ultimate gratitude: "You're all that I need / All that I want / Thank You, Jesus," bringing the listener to a place of worship and total surrender. "Yet To Come" is more than just a catchy melody; it’s a profound spiritual declaration, a reminder that no matter how dim the flame may seem, God is faithful, our identity in Him is secure, and indeed, "the best days are still yet to come." It encourages us all to hold fast to the promises of Scripture, finding strength and enduring hope in every season of life.
