about

I wrote “What’s Coming Next?” out of my frustration and anxiety about the future. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic took over, I was wondering this question. I left my full-time church job in 2018 to devote myself wholeheartedly to my writer/artist career, and I was growing impatient, wondering where all of this was going – if anywhere at all. I went to Nashville with just this chorus in 2019, and was able to finish it up with Jay Speight and Jorge Mhondera. I had never met either of them before, but Jorge instantly became my “bruv,” as he likes to say. (He’s from South Africa.) Jorge has actually made a big impression in the CCM world, touring with big name Christian artists like Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman. I think that made it a fitting co-write because this song more embodies a prayer than anything else. It’s a raw and honest questioning of God that I believe is universally felt, whether you’re religious or not.

lyrics

There's a tug of war down in my soul
And I don't know what I'm fighting for
I was brave enough
I dared to dream
Now I'm sitting here
Questioning everything
Was I wrong?

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
I wanna know, I wanna know
'Cause this in-between gets lonely
Living off the highs and lows
Waiting, wishing I could see
The future that's in front of me
What's coming next?
Can you show me?
I wanna know
I wanna know now

I keep rolling with the twists and turns
'Cause with every setback there's a lesson learned
Lord, all along I believed
You were the one
Leading me, helping me
Through it all

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
I wanna know, I wanna know
'Cause this in-between gets lonely
Living off the highs and lows
Waiting, wishing I could see
The future that's in front of me
What's coming next?
Can you show me?
What's coming next?
Can you show me?

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
What's coming next?
Can you show me?

The gray unknown
I can't see through
I trust in You
I trust in You
For something good
For something new
I trust in You

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
What's coming next?
Can you show me?

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
(Can you show me? Can you show me?)
What's coming next?
Can you show me? (Can you show me?)

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
I wanna know, I wanna know
'Cause this in-between gets lonely
Living off the highs and lows
Waiting, wishing I could see
The future that's in front of me
What's coming next?
Can you show me?
What's coming next?
Can you show me?

What's coming next?
Can you show me?
I wanna know
I wanna know now
