[Verse 1] I came in with my hands full Tired, muddy, and sore Had a list in my pocket Of the things I wanted more I said, "But, Lord, but listen" Like I knew the whole plan Then I bowed my head down low And I asked it again [Pre-Chorus] You were already working Way past what I could see Turning every delay Into mercy for me [Chorus] But every time You answer right Not just sometimes Every time But every time You know what's best You give me peace In the middle of the mess (Every time) [Verse 2] Sometimes I want the easy Sometimes I want it now Sometimes I want my yes, sir With no waiting, no how But the road You choose is kinder Than the one I tried to force You close the door I begged for Then You open up the course [Pre-Chorus] I was chasing my own fix You were saving my soul Every "not yet" in my hands Was a "trust Me" to hold [Chorus] But every time You answer right Not just sometimes Every time But every time You know what's best You give me peace In the middle of the mess (Every time) [Bridge] So I lay down the "but..." Lay down the fear Lay down the little plan That kept me here If You say wait, I wait If You say go, I go 'Cause Your love is the reason I can let it go [Final Chorus] But every time You answer right Not just sometimes Every time But every time You know what's best You give me peace In the middle of the mess Every time (Every time)
