Still Standing – Fruit of the Spirit Song, Pt. 4: Patience

📖In a world obsessed with speed, God teaches us to wait well. Patience isn’t passive—it’s the sacred strength to endure, the wisdom to trust in God’s timing, and the courage to believe even when nothing changes. This prophetic blues-inspired song digs deep into what it really means to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

“Still Standing” walks through the fires of delay, the storms of silence, and the burdens of long-suffering, only to discover that those who wait on Yahweh renew their strength. This isn’t about resignation—it’s about resurrection waiting in stillness. It’s about the grit of faith and the grace of endurance.

Let this song walk with you through your wilderness seasons. These words aren’t just poetry—they are drawn straight from the well of Scripture.

🎶 Lyrics: Still Standing

[Verse 1]
I have waited in the wilderness—
Not for answers, but for You.
You didn’t rush the dawn to rise;
You shaped my soul in truth.
When prayers returned unanswered,
I learned to breathe in trust—
Patience is the fire
That tempers faith to love.

[Verse 2]
Time doesn’t break me—it builds me.
Storms don’t shake me—they teach.
When I wanted rescue, You offered roots.
When I sought escape, You reached.
Now I wait like the earth waits for rain,
Like the night holds for morning’s gold—
Patience isn’t weakness.
It’s the quiet strength of the soul.

[Chorus]
Still standing. Still here.
Not just surviving—I'm drawing near.
Still trusting in the silence,
Still burning with reverent fear.
God of the long road,
God of the slow bloom,
I’m rooted in Your promise,
And I know You’re coming soon.

[Verse 3]
Teach me to be slow to anger,
To bear with grace what wounds me.
To choose love when it's hard to carry,
To reflect Your heart truly.
Patience doesn't chase revenge,
It doesn't envy, doesn’t boast—
It lifts the weak, it waits in hope,
And it loves the hurting most.

[Bridge]
Even Jesus waited—
Thirty years for three.
Even He endured the cross,
Scorning shame for victory.
So shall I hold my station
Though the sky is yet to clear.
If He tarries, it is mercy—
If He waits, I lose no tears.

[Verse 4]
I remember every moment
I nearly gave up the fight.
But You whispered in my waiting,
And Your voice revived my sight.
You’re not a God who’s hurried.
You don’t need to prove Your plan.
You just call me to be faithful—
To endure and still stand.

[Final Chorus – Lifted]
Still standing. Still watching.
Still pressing through the unknown.
Still breaking through the silence
To the thunder of Your throne.
Still loving. Still forgiving.
Still choosing joy in pain.
Patience is a sanctuary
Where faith will always remain.

[Outro – Spoken or Sung]

“The patience of our Lord is salvation…”
“I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me and heard my cry.”
