While I'm Waiting...

A year ago Glenn (my youth pastor) Died of brain cancer. Before he died he gave me a CD that he was certain I would identify with. I still can hear the intensity in his voice when he handed me John Waller's Blessing. He said " I know I know you can relate to this." A month later he died. I never listened to the CD until tonight.


A few weeks ago I went with my church family to see the "FireProof" Movie. Which was totally God... i wish i was awake enough to blog that. There was a song in the wovie that affected me. In a peircing/conviction/encouraging/peace is in his hands kind of way, I cried over those lyrics.
I told my pastor that night it would be an excellent isle (wedding)song. I would love for it to be the song i walk down the isle to. But for now while I'm waiting. While i'm waiting to thrown my crowns before Jesus.I'm waiting though painful I am hopeful.

Please Read Wallers Explanation!

8. While I’m Waiting
Psalm 5:3, 27:14, 33:20, 37:7, 38:15, 40:1, Isaiah 30:18, Lamentations 3:24
John Waller

"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
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
