I remember the first time I sang “Always On Time” at church. It connected with me right away.

I’ve been in a season of waiting. Not always for one clear thing, but for stability. For clarity. For a sense of direction in my work, my calling, and how I provide for my family. Since the fall of 2020, I’ve been on a journey into songwriting and creativity that has taken me further than I expected, but not always where I thought I’d be by now.

Along the way, I’ve had to learn that the journey isn’t separate from the purpose. It is the purpose. There have been moments that felt like arrival points, small destinations that reminded me God was present and at work, even when things still felt unfinished.

That’s why this song met me the way it did. It gave language to something I’ve been learning in real time. That even in the waiting, even in the questions, God is not absent. He’s working. And when I look back, I can see how many times He’s shown up exactly when I needed Him to. Not early. Not late. Right on time.

This song has felt deeply connected to what God has been doing in my life and in my music, and I knew I wanted it to be part of this story. It’s a reminder for me, and for anyone who hears it, that even here, in the middle of it, He hasn’t missed it.

LYRICS:

Verse 1

I remember how You provided

How You held me through the night

And I remember how You sustained me

When You stepped in to save my life

Pre Chorus

If I knew then what I know now

I would be still and let You work it out

Chorus

Jesus I was tossed in the water

But I never went under

You were always on time

And Jesus when I went through the fire

You were right there beside me

And You were always on time

Verse 2

I remember how You carried

When I couldn’t take a step

And I remember how You loved me

When I couldn’t love myself

[Chorus]

Refrain

You were always always

Always on time

You were always always

Always on time

Bridge x2

There’s never been a day

Never been a minute

Never been a moment

That You weren’t in it

There’s never been a time

That You didn’t see me through God

So I worship You

[Chorus]

[Refrain]

Refrain 2

And You are always always

Always on time

You are always always

Always on time
