I'm Wating For You

Michael W. Smith speaks "I'm Waiting For You" entirely in Christ's own voice, opening with a claim rooted in the crucifixion itself — "I walked the road with holes in my hands and feet, to make the way come follow me" — pairing the wounds directly with the invitation they made possible.

"No, you are not alone, you will be free indeed" answers isolation and bondage in the same breath, and "the journey begins and ends with me" frames the whole of a life's direction inside a single relationship rather than a destination reached alone. "One million miles, it starts with a step or two" scales an overwhelming distance down to an immediately achievable first move.

"You run the race thinking you've almost won, then you may find you've only begun" and "you're on the road thinking you're far from here, and suddenly find you're very near" both undercut the singer's confident self-assessment, suggesting perceived progress and perceived distance are equally unreliable measures. "What are you waiting for? I'm waiting for you" closes the loop, turning the title into an active, patient invitation rather than a description of delay.
