Heaven Don’t Wait

I've carried guilt that wore me thin

Paid my dues in borrowed skin

The preacher said, "Son, count the cost,"

But grace don't live where love gets lost

My hands still shake from what I've done

But mercy moves, it don't outrun

I've begged for truth, I've prayed for peace

But faith's the chain that grants release

If the gate's still closed, I'll stand outside

No saint to lead, no place to hide

Heaven don't wait for the broken kind

You take your turn or you fall behind

If the grace you seek won't open wide

Then build your church on the other side

Heaven don't wait, it calls by name

Through the hurt, through the blame

If the door won't break, I'll still knock late —

'Cause heaven, heaven don't wait

I've heard good men forget their prayers

Trading truth for empty chairs

But in the dirt, I found a hymn

A song for those too scarred to win

There's a fire that cleans, not burns

A love that strikes and then returns

It ain't for gold, it ain't for fame

It's for the hearts that wear no name

If the gate's still closed, I'll stand outside

No saint to lead, no place to hide

Heaven don't wait for the broken kind

You take your turn or you fall behind

If the grace you seek won't open wide

Then build your church on the other side

Heaven don't wait, it calls by name

Through the hurt, through the blame

If the door won't break, I'll still knock late —

'Cause heaven, heaven don't wait

(Choir) Can the lost be found?

They already are

(Choir) Can the sinners rise?

They bear the scar

(Choir) Can the heavens bend?

Only for truth

(Choir) Can it start again?

Yeah — it starts with you

Heaven don't wait for the broken kind

You take your turn or you fall behind

If the grace you seek won't open wide

Then build your church on the other side

Heaven don't wait, it calls by name

Through the hurt, through the blame

If the door won't break, I'll still knock late —

'Cause heaven, heaven don't wait

Heaven

Don't wait
