Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight) Lyrics
TobyMac
[Intro]
It May be midnight or mid-day
Never early, never late
He gon' stand by what He claimed
Lived enough life to say...
[Verse 1]
I heard your heart, I see your pain
Out in the dark, out in the rain
Feels so alone, feels so afraid
I heard you pray in Jesus' name
[Pre-chorus]
It May be midnight or mid-day
Never early, never late
He gon' stand by what He claimed
Lived enough life to say... ... (Say, say, say)
[Chorus]
Help is on the way (Roundin' the corner)
Help is on the way (Comin' for ya)
Help is on the way (Yea-ee-ayy)
I lived enough life to say...
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's days, sometimes it's years (Oh-oh)
Some face a lifetime of fallen tears (Oh-oh)
But He's in the darkness, He's in the cold
Just like the mornin', He always shows (He always shows)
[Chorus]
It may be midnight or mid-day
He's never early, never late
He gon' stand by what He claimed
I lived enough life to say... (Say, say, say)
[Chorus (2)]
Help is on the way (Roundin' the corner)
Help is on the way (Comin' for ya)
Help is on the way (Yea-ee-ayy)
I lived enough life to say...
[Bridge]
Ooh oh, ooh oh
Well, I seen my share o' troubles
But the Lord ain't failed me yet
So I'm holdin' onto the promise, y'all
That He's rollin' up His sleeves again
[Bridge (2)]
Ooh oh, ooh oh
Well, I seen my share o' troubles
But the Lord ain't failed me yet
So I'm holdin' onto the promise, y'all
That He's rollin' up His sleeves again
