No Deadlines Songtext
von Practically Human

I stood among the trembling men of war who lost their fire
They prayed for God′s deliverance, but then provoked his ire
"Five days will we give You to save us from our fate
Five days will you have Lord, then we'll open up the gate."

You don′t give God a deadline, His power can't be tamed
He'll raise the weak and willing to put the strong to shame
I′m a daughter standing faithful, my trust will light the way
You don′t give God a deadline. You trust Him unafraid

I dressed myself in courage, disguised in silk and song
He welcomed me with laughter, never guessed his time was gone
I whispered "Lord be with me. Strike boldly through my hand."
For the proud will fall to ashes and the lowly still will stand


You don't give God a deadline, His power can′t be tamed
He'll raise the weak and willing and put the strong to shame
I′m a daughter with a dagger, but it's His hand that guides my blade
You don′t give God a deadline, you trust Him unafraid

I'm no queen, I'm no soldier, just a widow in the fight
But He clothed me with His fury and He thundered in the night
The might of men was broken by a woman′s sharpened sword
I carried home my trophy, proof that God will keep His word

You don′t give God a deadline, His power can't be tamed
He′ll raise the weak and willing to put the strong to shame
I'm the daughter of His victory and the nations know His name
You don′t give God a deadline, you trust him unafraid

No fear in the waiting. No strength of my own
We don't rush His power. We don′t walk alone
We trust in His timing. He will set the pace
We won't set the deadline. We will wait on His grace
