Tasha Cobbs Leonard – Won't Be Too Long

“Won’t Be Too Long,” featured on Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s 2025 studio album, TASHA, is a beautifully honest exploration of the often-unspoken struggle of the believer: the season of waiting. Departing from celebratory gospel anthems, this track embraces an intimate, confessional style that ministers directly to those who feel stuck in the time between prayer and answer.

The core of the song revolves around the poignant and relatable phrase, “the day after amen.” This lyrical concept immediately draws the listener into the narrator’s state of anxious expectation, where doubt creeps in because the divine “come through” hasn’t happened yet. The opening lines perfectly set this stage:

“Jesus, it’s the day after amen. I think I thought You would’ve come through already, my friend. But I guess You’re teaching me patience again. It’s been another day after amen.”

Lyrically, the track moves through the tension of this spiritual pause. It acknowledges the tears and the temptation to question, but swiftly pivots to a declaration of resilient faith. The powerful resolve found in the chorus is the spiritual anchor of the song: “I’ll stand in the silence, I’ll sing in the waiting. I know You are working, even when I can’t see. My prayer’s not forgotten. Your promise, it won’t take too long.” This is a masterclass in turning internal distress into external worship.

Musically, “Won’t Be Too Long” is built on a foundation of sophisticated, yet sparse, instrumentation, driven primarily by Kenneth Leonard, Jr.’s thoughtful piano work and rich orchestral string arrangements. This minimalist production choice brilliantly highlights Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s vocal performance, allowing her to transition from a tender, conversational tone to a powerful, signature belt as the commitment to faith solidifies. The song effectively serves as a soul-stirring lullaby for the anxious heart, reassuring the listener that the duration of the trial is ultimately predetermined by a faithful God.
