While I am Waiting - I'm Getting Stronger
Song Meaning
Travis Greene quotes Isaiah 40:31 almost without changing it: "I will run and I will not be weary, I will walk and I will not faint, I will rise up on wings as eagles." The prophecy's original promise was to an exhausted, exiled people; the song borrows its exact language rather than only its general sentiment of endurance.
"God is not a man that He should lie, every need He will supply" lifts Numbers 23:19 directly, Balaam's own forced admission that God's word doesn't fail. "While I'm waiting I'm getting stronger" names the song's whole argument in its title — waiting isn't framed as wasted or passive time, it's the specific period the song claims strength is actually building in.
What my eyes can't see I still believe
Everything spoken to me
There's no word that can come back void
I will trust the report of the Lord
God is not a man that He should lie
Every need He will supply
So I will wait, I will not be moved
I believe, I believe, I will trust in You
While I'm waiting I'm getting stronger
My faith is rising, and I will run on
While I'm waiting, I'm lifting up on wings as eagles
I believe, I will trust in You
