While I'm Waiting

As I've posted before, song lyrics, poems, and other forms of literature are really inspiring to me (perhaps that is why I enjoy teaching English so much). Because of some trying situations I've encountered this year, I truly believe that God is teaching me patience and to desire His will and not my own. This has been a difficult learning experience. But, I have once again found a song that I can identify with to make this time in my life a little easier. The song"While I'm Waiting" by John Waller is frequent on Christian radio and appeared on the movie Fireproof. The song has a great message about patience and what to do while we are waiting on God's promises for our lives.

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
