“The Miracle Happened While I Was Waiting on Hold” (Contemporary Gospel • Lament → Assurance) ⸻ INTRO (Spoken – Dry Humor, Tired Faith) “Your call is important to us…” I heard that lie one more time. Hold music looping. Patience gone. Hope hanging by a thread. ⸻ VERSE 1 Phone pressed to my ear, time slipping away Been transferred so much I forgot why I prayed Every option say “Press one or two” None of ‘em say, “We see you” Clock keep moving, life don’t pause Problems still knocking while I’m on hold with God I didn’t hang up, didn’t give in Just sat there… listening… again ⸻ PRE-CHORUS I thought delay meant denial Thought silence meant no But faith don’t always get answers fast Sometimes it just waits… and holds ⸻ CHORUS The miracle happened while I was waiting on hold When nothing was changing and time felt cold I didn’t hear a voice, didn’t see a sign But peace found me somewhere in the line The miracle happened while I was waiting on hold When I wanted to quit and let it all go Turns out God was working quietly While I was waiting… He was changing me ⸻ VERSE 2 Hold music turned into a hymn Didn’t notice when my breathing settled in Still no answer, still no fix But my heart felt stronger than it did I realized what I needed most Wasn’t the solution, wasn’t control It was the reminder I’m not forgotten Even when it feels like I’m being passed along ⸻ FINAL CHORUS The miracle happened while I was waiting on hold Not when the problem finally got solved God didn’t rush, didn’t explain He just stayed… and that changed everything ⸻ OUTRO So if you’re still waiting… Stay on the line. He hasn’t disconnected you. Amen. ⸻
