While I'm Waiting

This song has been on my heart a lot lately. There has been a lot of waiting involved with this process. Waiting for people to get back to me, waiting to hear responses to my letters, waiting to return to Haiti. Some days I simply feel like I will explode from my own impatience.

 

Isaiah 40:31 says, “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (ESV) No matter how difficult the waiting is, I can’t waste my time. I need to serve Him while I wait, and take every step in confident obedience because I KNOW this is what He has called me to do.

 

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, no

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
