Behind This Song
This song started as a letting-go prayer. It came from that in-between place where an old season is closing, the new one is not fully visible yet, and God keeps asking for trust.
The language of wilderness and readiness kept surfacing as we wrote. It became a way of agreeing with God before we could see the whole road - letting the past loosen its grip and making room for what He was doing next.
More than anything, it is a posture song: hands open, heart yielded, and a simple yes to His timing.
Lyrics
Forget the former things
No more living in the past
Don't dwell on the days of old
A new thing's comin' on fast
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, God is on the way
Here in the wilderness
God is making a way
Rivers in the barren land
God is making a way
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, God will make a way
At the end of myself is where I find You
You're preparing for me Your dreams and plans
I give You all that I am, have Your way in me
Have Your way in me
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, come and have Your way
Come and have Your way
Come and have Your way
Come and have Your way
Come and have Your way
Rooted in Scripture

A Prayer
Jesus, help us let go of what is behind and trust the new thing You are doing. Meet us in the wilderness, make a way where we cannot see one yet, and have Your way in us completely. Make us ready for Your voice, Your timing, and Your plans. Amen.
