See You Move Sample

Day 2 “See You Move” Josiah Funderburk, Lauren Mwonga, and Zac Rowe “This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed” (Habakkuk 2:3 NLT). When Zac, Josiah, and I (Lauren) met together to begin writing this song, we had a very open and honest conversation about our lives. We realized that all three of us had been experiencing a season of grief, insecurity, and hardship. Josiah was fervently praying for a family member, Zac had nearly lost his youngest son the previous week, and I was struggling to walk confidently in what God was calling me to in the writing and worship world. That day we decided to throw out the “writing rules” and just say something meaningful. How could we express our hurting hearts while also declaring the truth of God’s faithfulness? The answer was in Scripture. David had an incredibly close relationship with God. In fact, God referred to him as “a man after my own heart” (Acts 13:22 NLT). Still, David’s life was not perfect. Before he became the king of Israel, he spent many years running and hiding from enemies who wanted to destroy him. And even after David secured the throne, he made some bad choices that came with painful consequences. David wrote, “Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck. Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; I can’t find a foothold. I am in deep water, and the floods overwhelm me” (Psalm 69:1–2 NLT). David could have given up and surrendered to his difficult circumstances, but he didn’t. Instead, he prayed, “Answer my prayers, O LORD; for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful” (Psalm 69:16–17 NLT). And in Psalm 27:13, he declared, “I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living” (NLT). The bridge of this song begins, “You don’t delay Your promise.” This is an important reminder that the Almighty God we serve does not act according to our preferred schedule. Our thinking is limited by our concept of time and space, but God exists outside of these constraints. He knows exactly what we need and when we need it. He is never late. As we wait to see the fulfillment of God’s promises, we can let our hearts take courage in the truth that God is and always will be faithful. “You don’t delay Your promise You finish what You started I know I will see Your goodness You won’t withhold Your presence Your power has no limit I know I will see Your goodness”
