Divine Delay

Divine Delay

Verse 1:

In the quiet of the moment, just before I speak,

I wonder, “Is it Your will or mine that I seek?”

Your Kingdom, though unseen, is where I want to live.

May Your living water be the words I give.

Pre-Chorus:

For the power of life and death lies in what we say.

So guide my words, Oh Lord, in this Divine Delay.

Chorus:

Divine Delay, where I find my way.

In the power of that pause, guide what I convey.

Grant me holy hesitation, so in your will I’ll stay.

Turn my heart to healing others, make whole my feet of clay.

Verse 2:

Quick to listen, slow to speak, that’s where wisdom grows.

A fool delights in speaking, but understanding knows,

Hasty words bring on destruction, a snare upon our lips.

So I’ll pause to seek Your presence, so my tongue won’t slip.

Pre-Chorus:

For the mouths of fools are their undoing, a trap within their breath.

But in this Divine Delay, I find life instead of death.

Chorus:

Divine Delay, where I find my way.

In the power of that pause, guide what I convey.

Grant me holy hesitation, so in your will I’ll stay.

Turn my heart to healing others. Make whole my feet of clay.

Bridge:

As a dog returns to vomit, so a fool returns to speak.

But in this grace-filled moment, it’s Your voice I seek.

More hope for a fool than one who speaks in haste.

Open my eyes to Wisdom’s window, so my words reveal Your grace.

Chorus:

Divine Delay, where I find my way.

In the power of that pause, guide what I convey.

Grant me holy hesitation, So in your will I’ll stay.

Turn my heart to healing others. Make whole my feet of clay.

Outro:

In this Divine Delay, I’ll choose the narrow way.

Being salt, light, and love, in all I do and say.

Divine Delay, Divine Delay.
