“Praise My Way Through” — A Song Born in the Waiting
By Chris Sarver
Presented by KingdomChorus.org
Some songs are written in moments of celebration.
Others are written in the quiet places where faith is tested.
Praise My Way Through belongs to the second kind.
This deeply personal song began with a simple message from a close friend who has been walking through a long and difficult season. After listing everything she had been carrying, she ended her message with one honest sentence:
“I’m just doing my best to praise my way through it.”
Those words landed with weight. They didn’t feel poetic at first. They felt real. Raw. Human. And they stayed with me.
I picked up a guitar, and the chorus came almost immediately.
As the song unfolded, I realized it wasn’t just inspired by her story. It was telling mine too.
For more than twenty years, I’ve felt called to write music for God. I’ve trusted Him. I’ve waited. I’ve hoped. I’ve learned. I’ve grown. And I’ve kept moving forward. Yet so often, it feels like I’m still standing in the in-between. Not at the breakthrough. Not at the arrival. Just in that quiet middle space where faith is exercised daily, not celebrated loudly.
I believe God is good.
I believe He is faithful.
I love my family.
I’m grateful for my life.
And still, there are moments when I wonder if I’m waiting on Him… or if He’s waiting on me.
That tension is at the heart of this song.
Praise My Way Through is also shaped by my journey living with bipolar disorder. It’s about trusting God when your thoughts don’t always feel trustworthy. About walking through foggy seasons and emotional flatlines. About choosing faith when your chemistry won’t cooperate. It’s humbling. It’s exhausting. And it’s real.
This song is my declaration.
When I don’t understand.
When I’m tired.
When I’m stuck.
When I’m unsure.
I will praise my way through.
Because God is good.
Because He keeps His promises.
Because even in the waiting, He is still faithful.
This song came from deep places.
My hope is that it meets you wherever you are.
