Song Meaning
Big Daddy Weave's song 'Wait' encourages patience and trust in God's timing. Drawing from Isaiah 40:31, the lyrics remind listeners that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, rise above challenges, and endure without fainting. The song addresses seasons of sickness, unanswered prayers, and anger, urging a posture of waiting rather than rushing. It emphasizes that while circumstances change, God's faithfulness remains constant. The repeated call to 'wait' is not passive but an active trust in God's provision and timing.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
If in your sickness you are desperate to recover
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now
When you're a seeker who is longing to discover
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now 'cause
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They will mount up on wings, they will walk and not faint
Seasons of this life change but God's faithfulness remains
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
When you keep asking but the answer still eludes you
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now
When the anger burns and threatens to consume you
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now 'cause
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They will mount up on wings, they will walk and not faint
Seasons of this life change but God's faithfulness remains
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
So wait, wait, just wait, wait
When you've been running
Love comes sneaking up behind you
Hey, wait a minute now
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They will mount up on wings, they will walk and not faint
Seasons of this life change but God's faithfulness remains
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
Shall renew their strength, so hurry up and wait
