"Wait for You."

I have a confession. I sometimes, occasionally listen to secular music. Recently, I came across this song by Elliot Yamin (Second Runner-Up in American Idol, Taylor Hicks/Chris Daughtry season). Clearly, the song is about losing his love, but after I listened to the song, I really felt God speaking to me through its words.

I thought about how often we turn from God, never really listening to what He has for us. How God cries for us when we turn from Him and do not look for guidance. Despite our disobedience, God waits for us. He will continue to wait for us. This song is truly a conversation between me and God. Think and ponder.

"I will wait for you. Because I don't know what else I can do. Don't tell me I ran out of time. If it takes the rest of your life...no matter what I have to do, I'll wait for you. So why does your pride make you run and hide? are you that afraid of me? But I know it's a lie, what you keep inside, this is not how you want it to be."

Disclaimer:
He may use the words girl and baby, but the meaning of the song still rings true.


[Verse 1]
I never felt nothing in the world like this beforeNow I'm missing you & I'm wishing that you would come back through my doorWhy did you have to go? You could have let me knowSo now I'm all alone, Girl you could have stayed but you wouldnt give me a chanceWith you not around it's a little bit more then i can standAnd all my tears they keep running down my faceWhy did you turn away?

[Bridge]
So why does your pride make you run and hide?Are you that afraid of me? But I know it's a lie what you keep insideThis is not how you wanted to be

[Chorus]
So baby I will wait for youCause I don''t know what else i can doDon't tell me I ran out of timeIf it takes the rest of my lifeBaby I will wait for youIf you think I'm fine it just aint trueI really need you in my lifeNo matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

[Verse 2]
It's been a long time since you called me(How could you forget about me)You got me feeling crazy (crazy)How can you walk away,Everything stays the sameI just can't do it babyWhat will it take to make you come backGirl I told you what it is & it just ain't like thatWhy can't you look at me, your still in love with meDon't leave me crying.

[Bridge]
Baby why can't we just start over againGet it back to the way it wasIf you give me a chance I can love you rightBut your telling me it wont be enough

[Chorus]
So baby I will wait for youCause I don''t know what else i can doDon't tell me I ran out of timeIf it takes the rest of my lifeBaby I will wait for youIf you think I'm fine it just aint trueI really need you in my lifeNo matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

[Bridge]
So why does you pride make you run & hideAre you that afraid of me?But I know it's a lie what your keeping insideThats not how you wanted to beBaby I will wait for youBaby I will wait for youIf it's the last thing i do

[Chorus]
Baby I will wait for youCause I don''t know what else i can doDon't tell me I ran out of timeIf it takes the rest of my lifeBaby I will wait for youIf you think I'm fine it just aint trueI really need you in my lifeNo matter what i have to do I'll wait for youI'll Be Waiting.
