God didn’t bring me this far
to leave me stranded at the door of trouble
But He promised to walk with me through this wilderness into my land of double
Double for every tear I’ve cried
and for everything I’ve lost
Double for what I paid to get this far,
which was a very high cost
Double for those who didn’t understand
and those who walked away
Double for those who really cared
but just didn’t know what to say
Double for every moment I spent alone
when I really didn’t want to be
Double for the hurt inside when I felt
they didn’t even think about me
Double for what I thought I wanted,
for what I thought I had
For weeping into my pillow at night,
He’s promised to make me double glad
Double for every scandalous word
spoken against my name
Double for every mistake I’ve made,
double for my shame
He promised that what was stolen from me
He will surely restore
For everything that I had to give up
He will give back more
I cannot afford to get comfortable in this desert,
there’s too much work yet to do
There’s more to life than what’s going on today,
there’s much to look forward to
I’m not wearing a wedding dress
to get married to this trouble
I’m putting on my high-heeled shoes
cause I’m walking right into my
double!
