Travis Greene's song is an uplifting gospel track that encourages listeners to hold on to faith during difficult times. The lyrics speak to feeling abandoned and walking through darkness, but they remind believers that God is faithful and will never leave them. The song references past deliverance as evidence that God will come through again, and it emphasizes waiting on God for renewed strength. The message is one of perseverance, trust in God's promises, and the certainty that the wait will be worthwhile.

Walking through the shadows
Life has taken air away
Here in the middle
Everyone has walked away
But I know a God who will never leave you
He will be there
It'd be a bad idea to quit
It'd be a bad idea to give up over this
He brought you out before He'll do it again
This is not the first time
It's been dark like this before
Remember the last time
Fear was drowned in perfect love
That is the God who will never leave you
He will be there
It'd be a bad idea to quit
It'd be a bad idea to give up over this
He brought you out before He'll do it again
God's not new to this
If you wait, He'll give you new strength
He brought you out before He'll do it again
Come what may, won't lose faith
Know that You got it
Good on Your promise
The wait will be worth it
All my plans, in Your hands
Know that You got it
Good on Your promise
The wait will be worth it
They that wait He gives strength
Know that you got it
Good on your promise
The wait will be worth it
Brought me out, won't stop now
Know that you got it
Good on your promise
The wait will be worth it
