Endurance
10 songs
Worship songs for the long obedience — the Mondays, the grind, the choice to keep going by faith when nothing feels dramatic.
Endurance is rarely heroic. It is Mondays, repetition, and fatigue. “Don’t You Quit” was written when a mother asked for a song about endurance, and it pulls straight from apostles’ counsel to keep walking. “What I Water Grows” uses a tree growing roots down and branches up (Jeremiah 17:7–8). “Weak Things Strong” holds on through a long wait with Ether 12. “Working Man” is the daily grind, before the sun. Each song has its lyrics, scripture and story.
