Lyrics
Don’t Grow Weary
I’ve been sowing in the quiet,
Hands in cold and waiting ground.
Every prayer feels unanswered,
Every hope feels buried down.
Days go by with no sign rising,
Just the weight of what I gave
Doing good feels like a hunger
That the earth won’t ever pay.
But a voice beneath the silence
Keeps my knees from walking out
Says “don’t stop when you’re tired,”
Don’t let doubt decide it now.
Don’t let my heart grow tired of good,
When I see no proof at all.
I’ll keep planting in the darkness,
Trusting time will break the soil.
If I’m weak, don’t let me quit,
When the night is long and slow
I believe the harvest waits,
Even if I never know.
There are nights I want to fold it,
Lay the burden on the floor.
Right feels heavier than wrong now,
Hope feels harder than before.
Every scar says “rest a while,”
Every loss says “let it be”
But I stay because I trust
What I cannot yet see.
I don’t need the fruit tomorrow,
I don’t need the proof today
Just the strength to keep on standing
While the roots are finding way.
Don’t let my heart grow tired of good,
When I see no proof at all.
I’ll keep planting in the darkness,
Trusting time will break the soil.
If I’m weak, don’t let me quit,
When the night is long and slow
I believe the harvest waits,
Even if I never know.
Teach me faith without a sign,
Teach me hope that doesn’t rush.
Let me trust the unseen work
Growing deeper than my touch.
If the fruit comes late in time,
Long after I’m gone from view
Let it still be said of me:
I stayed true.
I won’t let my heart grow tired of good,
Even when the ground feels closed.
I’ll keep planting in the darkness,
Believing life is still at work.
If the harvest takes its time,
I will wait and I will grow
What was planted in the night
Will rise slow.
