Lyrics
Verse 1
We've been waiting for Your presence to arrive all day
We kneel up at Your feet and we refuse to leave the same
Yokes don't break on their own, our hands are not that strong
And giving up feels wrong when You've been waiting for so long
Chorus 1
For destiny and victory to finally collide
For this day is the day when God says, "It's time"
Rumors, sickness, defeat, goodbye.
This day is the day when God says "It's time"
All things are working together for your good, so I know it's gon' be alright

Meaning & Inspiration
"It's Time" opens with a picture of extended waiting, kneeling in anticipation of God's presence while admitting that giving up now, after waiting so long, would feel wrong. That honest acknowledgment of fatigue frames the song's central declaration as something earned through persistence rather than casual optimism.
Its chorus names specific things expected to end, rumors, sickness, defeat, treating their departure as evidence that destiny and victory have finally converged. Declaring that "God says it's time" attributes that expected turning point directly to divine timing rather than circumstance or personal effort.
The closing line borrows directly from a well-known assurance that all things work together for good, grounding the song's confident expectation in that specific promise rather than vague hope. Rooted in contemporary gospel's declarative style, the song functions as an announcement of an awaited turning point, treating persistence through waiting as the posture that precedes God's declared moment of change.
