[Intro – sparse piano, soft strings, intimate vocal] [Verse 1] This moment feels like it will never end, The night keeps stretching farther than I can comprehend. I’ve prayed for morning, I prayed for strength, But it never shortened any road's length. And though I know You’re near me, I cannot see the way, So I hold onto promises I cannot feel today. [Pre-Chorus – gentle lift] You never said the storm would stay, You only asked me to endure. And somewhere past what I can see, Your promises are sure. [Chorus – warm, reverent, hopeful] But a small moment, That’s all this will be. Though it feels like forever When forever is all I can see. The night may be heavy, The waiting may be long, But sorrow is not endless, And weakness is not wrong. So I’ll hold on a little longer, Trusting what I cannot know— For You have said this trial Is but a small moment, And You were with me through it all. [Verse 2] There are days when I grow weary Of pretending I am strong, When the silence feels like absence And the road feels far too long. But You know what I have carried, Every burden, every tear, And You promised not to leave me, Even when You’re hard to hear. [Pre-Chorus – slightly fuller] You said, “Be still, and know My hand,” Though I do not understand. And when my heart can only whisper, You hear the words I cannot utter. [Chorus] But a small moment, That’s all this will be. Though it feels like forever When forever is all I see. The night may be heavy, The waiting may be long, But sorrow is not endless, And weakness is not wrong. So I’ll hold on a little longer, Trusting what I cannot know— For You have said this trial Is but a small moment, And You were with me through it all. [Bridge – stripped back, almost whispered] One day I’ll stand beyond this valley, And the tears will have their end. I’ll see the hands that carried me When I could not comprehend. I’ll know why I was strengthened By the weight I had to bear, And I’ll see that You were with me In every unanswered prayer. [Final Chorus – choir enters gently, no oversized crescendo] But a small moment, That’s all this will be. Not because the pain was nothing, But because eternity is more than I can see. The night may be heavy, The waiting may be long, But Your word is still a promise, And Your promise is still strong. So I’ll take the next step forward, Even trembling, even slow— For You have said this trial Is but a small moment, And You were with me through it all. [Outro – piano and soft choir] Someday I’ll see it so… The moment had an ending. You never let me go. But a small moment… And You were with me through it all.
