Jonny Diaz's song "What I'm Waiting For" captures a season of spiritual dryness and complacency. The narrator describes feeling distant from God, with a heart like stone and prayers that feel empty. He acknowledges that life has gotten in the way and that his passion has faded into apathy. The song expresses a longing for change and a desire to return to the faith he once had. He wonders if he needs a dramatic sign or if he must simply believe before he can see. Ultimately, it's a candid confession of doubt and a plea for the courage to move forward in faith.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Forty days with a heart like a stone
Forty nights feeling cold and alone
Like a stranger 'cause it's been so long
It's not You but it's me who's gone
Try to pray, bow my head but life gets in the way
And I don't even know what to say
What I'd give for a change
How long will it be this way?
This complacency is wearing on me
All my passions turned to apathy
I could get up and follow You and find my faith from before
Don't know what I'm waiting for
I have done what I thought I should do
All these years that I've spent serving You
Tell me how did I end up like this?
With doubt in my heart and my hands in a fist
This complacency is wearing on me
All my passions turned to apathy
I could get up and follow You and find my faith from before
Don't know what I'm waiting for
Maybe You shining white or a blood red sun
Maybe some other sign that may never come
Maybe I must believe before I can see
What I'm waiting for
Maybe You shining white or a blood red sun
Maybe some other sign that may never come
Maybe I must believe before I can see
What I'm waiting for, what I'm waiting for
This complacency is wearing on me
All my passions turned to apathy
I could get up and follow You and find my faith from before
Don't know what I'm waiting for
