Lyrics
Verse 1
Some nights I still ask You,
"God, why does it hurt this way?"
Why do some prayers feel unanswered?
Why do good things get taken away?
I've watched people lose what they loved most
Watched faith shake under the weight
I've heard someone say, "God, please don't take them"
Then stand crying beside a grave
Verse 2
And Jesus, You stood at Lazarus' tomb
With tears running down Your face
You knew death wasn't the ending
But You still entered into the pain
So maybe I don't need every answer
To believe You're still here with me
Maybe hope is holding onto You
When there's nothing else I can see
Chorus
Not yet, not yet
But I know how the story ends
Not yet, not yet
Every broken thing made whole again
You have already won
Though I haven't seen it yet
So I hold onto the promise:
Already... not yet
Verse 3
Romans says creation's groaning
Like a mother giving birth
Maybe that's the sound I'm hearing
In the aching of this earth
You gave Your Spirit as a promise
Like the daylight before dawn
Just enough of Heaven here
To make me ache for what will come
Verse 4
So when the doctor's voice gets quiet
When the phone rings after dark
When I'm standing at a funeral
Trying not to fall apart
I won't say that I am fine, Lord
You already know I'm not
I will bring You every question
Every angry, broken thought
Bridge
Because pain may have this chapter
It may leave its mark in ink
But it cannot have the last word
Even when my whole world sinks
Chorus
Not yet, not yet
But I know how the story ends
Not yet, not yet
Every broken thing made whole again
You have already won
Though I haven't seen it yet
So I hold onto the promise:
Already... not yet
Verse 5
So what do I do while I'm waiting?
How do I live between the two?
Between the day You conquered death
And the day You make things new?
Maybe I become a glimpse
Of what the world will someday be
Feed somebody who's forgotten
Sit beside somebody's grief
Not because I think I'll fix it
Not because I'm strong enough
But because an empty grave says
Death itself could not stop love
Outro
Revelation says You're coming
Every tear will leave our eyes
No more hospitals at midnight
No more final goodbyes
No more children under rubble
No more mothers asking why
No more empty chairs at dinner
No more watching loved ones die
And God, I need that day to come
Some days "soon" feels far away
But Friday must have felt forever
Before the stone was rolled away
Your Kingdom come
Your Kingdom come
For every heart still breaking
For every prayer still waiting
Come, Lord
Come, Lord
Maranatha
Not yet, not yet
But I know how the story ends
Not yet, not yet
Every broken thing made whole again
You have already won
Though my eyes forget
So when I cannot see the morning
I'll believe You even then
Already won...
Not yet...
But soon
I don't understand the waiting
I don't understand the pain
But You came into our suffering
You wept
You bled
You stayed
So until You make it right, Lord
I'll keep whispering through the ache:
Already...
Not yet...
But soon
