Why Is the Process So Heavy? | Soulful Black Gospel Worship | Original Gospel Song

There are seasons when faith feels heavy.
When obedience costs more than comfort.
When the process hurts more than the promise.

“Why Is the Process So Heavy?” is a soulful black gospel worship song born out of waiting, surrender, and quiet trust in God.
It speaks to anyone walking through a difficult process — facing giants, closed doors, unanswered prayers — and learning that God is not building our comfort, but our character.

This song is not about having all the answers.
It’s about staying when it would be easier to run.
About trusting God in the silence.
About believing that the weight you’re carrying is not punishment — it’s preparation.

If you’re in a season where the road feels long, the ground feels hard, and the promise feels far away, this song is for you.

Before the crown, there is the ground.
Before the throne, there is surrender.
And even when the process feels heavy, God is still faithful.

LYRICS:

I asked You for a sign from heaven
You gave me a giant instead
I asked You for an easier way
You made me walk the long road ahead

I wanted clear answers
You answered with silence
But somewhere in the waiting
You were shaping who I’d be inside it

I thought it was punishment
But it was preparation
While I was asking for relief
You were forming my heart with patience

’Cause before the crown
There’s the ground
Before the throne
There’s surrender now

You’re not building comfort
You’re building who I am
You don’t make me impressive
You make me Yours, God

I asked You for a clear direction
You put an ocean in my way
Water in front of me
And my past right behind my faith

There was no escape
Just trust or drown
And when fear started screaming
That’s when Your glory came down

If the road was always easy
I’d never really know
That when I’ve got nothing left
That’s when You take control

’Cause before the crown
There’s the ground
Before the throne
There’s surrender now

You’re not building comfort
You’re building who I am
You don’t make me impressive
You make me Yours, God

You gave me a desert
When I wanted a voice
You let me fall hard
So I’d learn how to rejoice

You gave me a thorn
When I asked for strength
So I’d never forget
I don’t live one day without Your grace

If the walls fall down
It’s not by my hands
If the giant falls
It’s by Your command

If the door opens wide
It’s because heaven spoke
And when the victory comes
All I can say is: only God

’Cause before the crown
There’s the ground
Before the throne
There’s surrender now

You’re not building comfort
You’re building who I am
You don’t make me impressive
You make me Yours, God

So if today I’m broken
This isn’t the end of the song
It’s You writing deeper
What was there all along

If I don’t see the way out
I’ll still choose to stay
’Cause the glory after this
Is worth every step of the way

Why is the process so heavy?
’Cause You’re making me ready.

Amen.
