Habakkuk

Yo I'm flipping through pages ancient with time
Habakkuk’s words hit like rhythm and rhyme
A prophets gaze piercing the stormy sky 
Asking why the righteous suffer why the wicked thrive
He stood on the ramparts watching the scene 
The world on fire caught in anguish unseen
How long must we cry how long will you wait
The answer is coming hold steady your faith 
The earth will be filled with glory so bright 
Justice like waters rolling into the night
Though the fig tree withers and the vines don't grow
I'll rejoice in my savior through the winds that blow
His words they echo through the years so strong 
A melody of hope in a world gone wrong 
The tablets are written make it plain on the run
A timeless truth for us each and everyone 
Why oh why do the answers delay
The vision is written but the shadows stay
Trust in the plan though it feels so unclear 
The righteous live by faith leave the burden here
Habakkuk cried out loud yo what's the plan
Looking up to heaven like help me understand 
The world's gone wild man sinners ran free
Justice dozing off where's the victory 
Why's the wicked winning do you even see
My souls out here aching God answer me
But you replied back my way ain't yours
I'm painting bigger pictures on eternal doors
Though the fig tree dries though the vines don't grow 
Though the harvest fails and the rivers run slow
I'll rejoice in the Lord my joy my might
The Sovereign keeps me steady in the darkest night 
He's raising up nations to serve his will
Moving like a warrior he's raw and real
But the righteous shall live by their unwavering faith 
Trusting his power his love his grace
Wait for the vision it'll surely come through 
Even when the dark clouds block the view 
Write it on those tablets make the message plain
Through the tears through the trial hold tight to the flame
