While I'm Waiting

I just got home from watching the movie Fireproof (which was EXCELLENT!), and this song was in the movie, and it really jumped out at me. It really convicted me of being so caught up in the "waiting" in my own life, and how if that is my main focus, I will lose the joy of knowing and praising God, and serving Him WHILE I'm waiting. I hope that these lyrics will encourage you as much as they did me!

Here is what the musician, John Waller, had to say about the meaning behind the song:"

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.”

• I’m waiting

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

• 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
