STILL HERE (The Words That Waited)

Still Here (The Words That Waited) ©December 2025 by Mark King


[Verse 1]

You don’t have to walk through any doors

Don’t need a suit or perfect words to say

The silence in your chest that’s asking more

Has been heard a thousand times the same old way 


[Verse 2]

These lines were written down when kings were dust

By men who bled and wondered just like you

They’re not on thrones, they’re not collecting trust

They’re just a light left burning in the room 


[Chorus]

They’re still here, these words that waited

Through every war and every empty night

Still true, never outdated

Quiet as the stars, but burning bright

If you’re lost and love feels far away

They’ll meet you right where you are today 


[Verse 3]

No thunder voice, no pointed finger shame

Just bread for hunger, water when you’re dry

A hand held out that knows your hidden name

A promise that the dark is not the final sky 


[Chorus]

They’re still here, these words that waited

Older than the pain you carry now

Still true, never faded

They don’t demand, they just show how

To stand when everything has fallen through

To love when love feels impossible to do 


[Bridge]

You don’t have to call it holy

You don’t have to call it anything

Just read them like a letter from a friend

Who knew you’d need them someday 


[Final Chorus]

They’re still here, these words that waited

For every heart that thought it was too late

Still true, and unafraid to

Hold the broken till the morning breaks

If you’re empty and the night feels long

These words have been your home all along 



Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Matthew 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Psalm 23:4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
