[Intro]
[Verse]
I don't know when you'll hear this,
Maybe after the struggle is over,
Maybe while you're still in it.
But if this finds you on a hard day,
I need you to know something.
I'm proud of you.
---
Verse 1
I am writing this letter to voice how proud I am of you,
The path was tough and long, but you stayed true,
Long nights and days that blurred together,
Yet through it all you looked to God, not others,
You held firm when the frontlines were broken,
You helped others stand when things couldn't be spoken,
Your resilience makes me smile because I know the pain,
The stress endured and how difficult it was to remain,
You took what was given and look what was made,
You put in the work, but it was God's hand that was played.
---
Chorus
Obedience set the course,
Faith led the way,
I asked for direction,
And the light showed the way,
Tired mentally from the strain,
But it was all worth it to see the gain,
When I couldn't see beyond today,
God was already making a way.
---
Verse 2
Noah obeyed and built the Ark,
While others laughed and mocked,
But when the rains and waters came,
They learned too late who held the rain,
God provided the blueprint and design,
Setting everything in motion with that sign,
When all was aboard God's hands shut the door,
Sealed with His authority and power, nothing more,
God always provides when we obey,
It just doesn't always come the same day.
---
Chorus
Obedience set the course,
Faith led the way,
I asked for direction,
And the light showed the way,
Tired mentally from the strain,
But it was all worth it to see the gain,
When I couldn't see beyond today,
God was already making a way.

Bridge
There were nights you couldn't see the dawn,
Days you wondered if the dream was gone,
Seeds beneath the ground unseen,
Growing stronger than they've ever seemed,
Every tear and every scar,
Helped shape the person that you are,
Even when the road felt dim,
You kept your eyes fixed on Him.
---
Verse 3
Faith held everything like glue,
Each step I checked with You,
And because of that look how you grew,
No matter what others may whisper,
Even when life could have been easier,
You soldiered through and through,
All the doubt and all the hate,
Still couldn't change the outcome laid in faith,
Continue to build and grow,
Keep moving forward even when it's slow,
I am proud of you,
Just stay true to Him and you'll make it through.
---
Final Chorus
Obedience set the course,
Faith led the way,
I asked for direction,
And the light showed the way,
Tired mentally from the strain,
But it was all worth it to see the gain,
Every promise has its day,
Even when it feels far away.
---
So if you're hearing this and you're tired,
If you're wondering whether it's worth it,
If you feel like quitting,
Don't.
One more step.
One more prayer.
One more day.
I know how the story ends.
And trust me,
It's worth it.
