[Verse 1] Studied for weeks, maybe a month Didn't take my assignment lightly First time speaking on a Sunday morning And shyness was fighting me But the pastor called on me to do this thing I knew God had a word I had to bring Straight out of First Samuel, Hannah’s story "Trust the process, preparation for the promise" Little did I know, I was preaching to myself Little did I know... [Chorus] Trust the process, wait on the promise Even in the valley, when you feel the hardest His mercies are brand new, brand new every morning Great is Thy faithfulness, when the storm is forming [Verse 2] Mother’s Day twenty-twenty-six, the seed was sown That Tuesday, emergency surgery for my sister, her health unknown A mass in her brain, hours of heavy fear Then a text from my job, pulling me down near Five years gone in a single message A dream job fading, hard to digest Standing in the hospital, my foundation shaking My sister looked at me, courage awaking Shed a few tears, but she said to me "God has better for you, just wait and see" [Bridge] There were bigger fish to fry, fighting for her life Quick goodbye to the team, pushing through the strife Then came the silence, survival mode's test Two hundred applications, rejection put to the test Watching mass layoffs spreading cross the land Wondering how anyone could make a stand Feeling cut down, pushed out, and worn thin Wondering where to even begin [Chorus] Trust the process, wait on the promise Even in the valley, when you feel the hardest His mercies are brand new, brand new every morning Great is Thy faithfulness, when the storm is forming [Outro] This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope It’s of the Lord's mercies we aren't consumed, helping us to cope His compassion fails not, great is His faithfulness So I built Yachal, a space for hope and blessedness [Sing smoothly: Yachal, to wait, to hope, and to expect] Speak God's Word over your life, don't neglect Get to know the Savior, He is truly the only way Make it through another day.
