While I'm Waiting

In the mind-numbingly boring job situation I find myself in - the day job - my mind is free to roam wild.  If you follow me on twitter, you know I find plenty of stuff to crack me up.  Believe me, I haven't begun to scratch the surface.  That place is surreal.  Stay tuned.

One of the really good things I like about the place is that I am able to listen to music all day long.  I love music.  I told you early in this blog that music is the language of my heart.  Most mornings, I listen to the local Christian radio station, The Fish.

"While I'm Waiting," by John Waller, has played a zillion times.  It's a popular tune, right?  But for some reason, I have never really heard it.  Not that I wasn't aware of it.  I just wasn't singing along to it, crying out with it, humming it all day, worshiping a holy God through it.  It hasn't done that thing that songs do and speak to my heart.  No offense, John Waller.

But.  Last week I heard the lyrics for the first time, really heard them.  Wow.  I can't believe I didn't write them myself.

Lord, let me always wait...just like this.

While I'm Waiting

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
