Chris Renzema's song "Not Yet" reflects on the Christian journey of waiting and longing for full transformation. The lyrics acknowledge human brokenness and imperfection, describing believers as not yet beautiful, whole, or home. The song expresses hope that soon, without a veil, the heart will know God and see His face, becoming like Him. It touches on themes of anticipation, sanctification, and the promise of eternal life, drawing from the idea that while we are still in the dust, we are drawing nearer to God. The song encourages perseverance and trust in God's ultimate restoration.

Well, I'm a son of coal, a daughter of tar
From the dust you came, from the dust you are
We're not beautiful not yet, oh! young heart
Yeah, the rain has yet to fall and make mud of my scars
Well so, soon
My heart will know
You
Without a veil
Between us
I'll see Your face
And become
Like You
Well, I'm the son of a woman, the daughter of man
From the dust you came, from the dust I am
We're not home, not yet, oh! That distant land
Yeah, we've still a few roads left to travel without the side of your hand, yeah...
So soon
My heart will know... You
Without a veil between us
I'll see Your face and become
Like You, like You
I'll see Your face and become
Like You
I'm a son of the valley, a daughter of fear
From the dust we're raised, oh! and to the dust, we're reared
We're not whole, not yet, oh! but we're drawing near
Ya, there's still a few hours left tonight before the sun dries our tears
Ya, there's still a few hours left tonight before the sun dries our tears
Well, so soon
My heart will know... You
Without a veil between us
I'll see Your face and become
Like You, like You
I'll see Your face and become
Like You, like You
I'll see Your face and become
Like You
