Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah)
Don't speak for a minute
Close your eyes, let it be and selah (Selah, yeah)
It ain't all 'bout what you sing, it's the moments in between
Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah)
Don't speak for a minute
Close your eyes, let it be and selah (Selah, yeah)
It ain't all 'bout what you sing, it's the moments in between
Sometimes you got to selah
Selah and take a lil' break
Somewhere that they cannot locate
Camp in the woods, lay in the shade
Like a vacation
Just put your mind at ease
There's nobody you got to please
Let go of your anxiety
There's healing in the wait
That's why they call it patience
There's healing in the wait
That's why they call it patience
Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah)
Don't speak for a minute
Close your eyes, let it be and selah (Selah, yeah)
It ain't all 'bout what you sing, it's the moments in between (Woah, ayy, yeah)
Sometimes you got to selah
If I got a problem, I'm talking to Jesus
Not ChatGPT, woah
All of these people they speak on my name
But they do not know me, no
I wish 'em well, I pray they know it, as well
I pray they get off they cells and get out theyselves
And break out they cells 'til every cell starts moving in unison
Giving Him praise, open that book, do what it says
This ain't a game, but you should hit save
Talk about Jesus, don't care if it's made
The weight is my ease, how could I be so naive?
I hit the ground, now I'm up like a tree
Planted my roots in Him 'cause He don't leave
Speaking His name and the enemy flees
There's healing in the wait
That's why they call it patience
There's healing in the wait
That's why they call it patience
Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah)
Don't speak for a minute
Close your eyes, let it be and selah (Selah, yeah)
It ain't all 'bout what you sing, it's the moments in between
Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah)
Don't speak for a minute
Close your eyes, let it be and selah (Selah, yeah)
It ain't all 'bout what you sing, it's the moments in between
Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah, take, take, a lil' break)
(Take, take a lil' break)
(Take, take, take a lil' break)
(Take, take, take a lil' break)
(Take, take, take a lil' break today)
Sometimes you got to selah (Selah, yeah, take, take a lil' break)
(Take, take a lil' break)
(Take, take, take a lil' break)
(Take, take, take a lil' break)
That makes me think of, uh (Take, take, take a lil' break today)
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
Selah, hmm
