While I'm Waiting

So this song came on K-LOVE tonight while I was cleaning. I turned it up all the way and, instead of singing along, I just listened to the words. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that. I enjoy singing too much to not sing. I forgot how much the words to this song move me! I looked up the lyrics and wanted to add them on here. When I found a good site, I noticed that John had given his input as to why he wrote the lyrics. He also provided some verses that speak of God’s sufficiency while we wait for Him! Too often we - I – will sing along without understanding the implications that come along with listening. It’s like praying and then expecting to hear God’s voice two minutes later. Sometimes we just need to sit in silence. That speaks volumes! God already knows the words in our hearts anyway! But here are the verses and lyrics. Enjoy, because I know I did. How amazing is my Lord that He knows I needed to hear this song tonight.

-Psalm 5:3, 27:14, 33:20, 37:7, 38:15, 40:1, Isaiah 30:18, Lamentations 3:24

"The explanation for this song is simple, I was waiting on God and I was hurting when I wrote the lyrics. I probably wouldn’t have written a song if my friend, Mike, hadn’t encouraged me to document what I was going through during that time. I’m sure there are few people who can’t relate to this song, but the important thing to remember while we’re waiting on God is to not just wait but to actively wait. Serve, worship and be faithful with what you have, where you are… “even while (you) wait.” –John Waller

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord
