Steady Hands

Verse 1

It isn't always lightning, it isn't always fire

Sometimes it’s the quiet that lifts us even higher

It’s the daily devotion, the step-by-step walk

The way that we listen before that we talk

I’m putting my hand to the plow and the pen

Starting the morning all over again.

Chorus 1

Give me steady hands and a heart that is true

Everything I’m building, I’m building for You

In the small and the simple, in the work and the rest

I’m giving my Savior my very best

Steady and certain, ready and real

Following the way that the Spirit will heal.

Verse 2

There’s a peace in the process, a calm in the soul

Knowing that You are the one in control

No more rushing the sunset or forcing the bloom

There’s plenty of grace and there’s plenty of room

I’m learning the patience, I’m learning the trust

Turning the ashes to gold from the dust.

Rap Section

Yeah, it’s the long-distance run, not the 10-meter dash,

Building a fire that’ll never just ash.

It’s the "yes" in the morning when the feeling is gone,

Keeping the faith till the break of the dawn.

I used to be frantic, just chasing the wind,

But I found where the peace and the purpose begin.

It’s the steady hands on the steering wheel,

Trusting the Word over how I might feel.

No more "rollercoaster" faith, up and then down,

I’m keeping my eyes on the King and the crown.

Bridge

Little by little, day after day

Walking the narrow and beautiful way.

(Repeat 2x)

Chorus 2

Give me steady hands and a heart that is true

Everything I’m building, I’m building for You

In the small and the simple, in the work and the rest

I’m giving my Savior my very best.

Outro

Steady hands.

Ready heart.

Stay the course.
