You came out of your way
You sat down to speak to me
What amazing grace
That you've shown, so patiently
And You, waited for me
Just for me For me
You called out my name
Knew my past, covered my shame
This amazing grace
You've shown, so patiently
You've shown, so patiently
And You, You waited for me, just for me
You waited for me, just for me
Where would I be? If You left me God
Where would I be? If You left me God
Where would I be? If You left me God
Where would I be? If You left me God
You waited, waited
You waited, waited
You waited, waited
You waited, waited
What amazing grace
That you've shown, so patiently
You've shown, so patiently
And You, You waited for me, just for me
You, You waited for me, just for me

Travis Greene's song 'You Waited' is a worship ballad expressing gratitude for God's patient grace. The lyrics reflect on how God pursued the singer despite their past and shame, calling them by name and covering their failures. The repeated question 'Where would I be if You left me God?' underscores a sense of utter dependence on divine mercy. The song emphasizes God's unwavering love and patience, waiting for the individual to respond. It connects naturally to the biblical theme of God's relentless pursuit of His people, as seen in the parable of the lost sheep or the prodigal son.
