You Can't Hurry God
Donnie McClurkin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't hurry God
You just have to wait
May not come
When you want Him

Be there right time
You can depend on God
To come through
You just have to wait

Waiting on God seems so uncomfortable
'Cause you don't know how long you gotta wait
Oh, my soul doth waiteth patiently on the Lord
Oh, because I know He shall renew their strength

He may not come
When you want Him
But He'll be there
Right on time

You can depend
God to come through
You just have to wait

You can't hurry God
You just have to wait
May not come
When you want Him

Be there right time
You can depend on God
To come through
You just have to wait

Waiting on God seems so uncomfortable
Cause you don't know how long you gotta wait
Oh, my soul doth waiteth patiently on the Lord
Oh, because I know He shall renew their strength

I'm here to tell you gotta stop complainin'
And start believin'
He's gonna come through
Right when you need Him

You can depend on God
To come through
You just have to wait

Wait
Wait
Wait
On Jesus

Wait on Him
Wait on Him
Wait on Him
You got wait on Jesus
