Tasha Cobbs' song 'Day After Amen' speaks to the tension between faith and the reality of waiting on God. The lyrics capture the feeling of praying and expecting immediate answers, yet finding oneself still in the same situation. The song encourages perseverance in prayer and trust in God's timing, acknowledging that He is working even when His ways are not visible. It references the idea that God collects tears and turns them into prayers, and that He remains in control amidst chaos. The message is one of hope and reassurance that prayers are never forgotten and that God's promises will be fulfilled, even if the wait seems long.

Jesus, it's the day after amen
I think I thought You would've come through already, my friend
But I guess You're teaching me patience again
It's been another day after amen
I thought by now I'd hear Your voice say it's finally the end
But I trust You even when I can't comprehend
So I'll pray again
And I'll stand in the silence
I'll sing in the waiting
I know You are working
Even when I can't see
My prayer's not forgotten
Your promise it won't take too long
It won't be too long
Jesus, it's the day after I cried
And I really thought that yesterday was gon' be my last time
But I keep on crying
And trying to remind myself
Your ways are higher than mine
In the silence, so I'll sing in the waiting
I know You are working, even when I can't see
My prayer's not forgotten
Your promise it won't take too long, it won't be long
Oh, oh, oh
You bottle my tears
Turn 'em all into prayers
You are working in ways that I'm not yet aware
Even in the chaos
You're still in control
So I'm holding on because You won't let go
Jesus, it's the day You answered my call
The wait was long but if I'm honest You stayed through it all
Every prayer that I prayed was never lost
You were working it out all along
