[Verse 1]
You've been praying
And you've been believing
You've been holding on, to what He said
God made a promise His word is true
He has great things in store for You
(If You just use, use You memories
To think about, what He's already done)
God is so faithful your storm, won't last
Your trials and troubles will come to pass
(It may take some time, but I know) – It's on the way
(I know waiting, has never been easy
And giving up, is not an option)
God made a promise (His word is true)
His word is true
(He has great things)
He has great things (in store) in store for You
(I have seen, seen enough proof
There's no doubt, in my mind)
God is so faithful, (faithful God) Your storm won't last
Your trials and troubles (will come) will come to pass
(It may take some time, but I know) It's on the way
(Here we go...)
It's on the way
It's on the way (everything God promised) what you've been praying for
It's on the way
It's on the way (way...)
It's on the way (it's on the way) what you've been praying for, it's on the way
What you've been praying, for it's on the way
What you've been praying, for it's on the way
What you've been praying, for it's on the way
What you've been praying, for it's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It's on the way
It may take some time, but I know it's on the way
It's On The Way
Song Meaning
VaShawn Mitchell keeps "It's On The Way" focused on the gap between a promise made and a promise fulfilled — "you've been praying, and you've been believing, you've been holding on to what He said." The song doesn't pretend that waiting is easy; a parenthetical aside admits it plainly: "waiting has never been easy, and giving up is not an option," naming the temptation the whole song is written to resist.
"Use your memories to think about what He's already done" offers a specific method for enduring the wait rather than just encouragement to keep waiting — memory functions as evidence, not just comfort. "God is so faithful, your storm won't last" ties the current wait to God's character rather than to any visible sign that the promise is actually close.
The extended, repeated "it's on the way" that closes the song functions less as a lyric to analyze and more as a declaration meant to be said until the waiting itself starts to feel different.
