Wait by Ruslan Lyrics
[Chorus: Joey Jewish]
I'm in need of Your mercy with a touch of Your grace
You see me down on my knees, always seekin' Your face
Lord, this life is so crazy, there's so much I could say
When I pray, but I hear You tellin' me to take a break
Sayin', "Wait on Me, wait on Me"
I know You're hearin' my prayer, no You never fail us
That's what gives me confidence to wait
[Verse 1: Ruslan]
How'd I wind up in the same place, livin' reckless?
Been sittin' in church all these years, did I miss the message? (Did I miss the message, God?)
And I thought by this point, I woulda been learned my lesson (nah)
I used to love the Good News, now I holla out, "Stop the presses"
Stop the presses of this epsiode
I feel exposed, don't wanna lose my blessing
Low I have been to my soul
I was so bold, but now I'm breathless
Breathe the Spirit right into my lungs
All I want to do is sing along
I'm learnin' how to finally write the song to You
Maybe I been knowin' all along what to do
Maybe I'm afraid to smile like Kyle
Maybe I'm afraid of what I feel
Rewrote this verse a couple times
First time I kept it way too real, kept it way to
Then I finally heard that they could separate you from the love of God
Why this world hate you? Well they hate me too
Would I bear my cross? Would I die for truth?
I don't know
I feel like I been a coward from long time ago
Would you empower and show me how to slow my roll?
'Cause I just wanna go, I just wanna go
But I really need to slow, I really need to slow down
[Chorus: Joey Jewish]
I'm in need of Your mercy with a touch of Your grace
You see me down on my knees, always seekin' Your face
Lord, this life is so crazy, there's so much I could say
When I pray, but I hear You tellin' me to take a break
Sayin', "Wait on Me, wait on Me"
I know You're hearin' my prayer, no You never fail us
That's what gives me confidence to wait
[Verse 2: Th3 Saga]
I wrote this right before I fell into a deep depression (yeah)
It's hard to be called by God when your soul got weak reception (yeah)
20k followers on the IGM and it seems impressive
But tell me what's the point of makin' moves if you get lost each direction?
On the reel like a fishin' rod, I been trippin', God, I just need a blessin'
All these problems really hittin' hard, I've been switchin' gods trying to seek retention
Losin' focus, got my vision scarred, now it's gettin' hard findin' deep reflection
Thousand messages and different calls, tryin' get involved
I just need a second, I just need a second
Just take time to breathe, get away to a condo with a view
Pray to Him while my soul can feel the breeze
Step back and tell Rich I need the booth
Lay a verse and just let my problems [?]
Step back and praise God through it all
Dawg I swear this will put [?]
But you won't understand, you just won't understand
They don't ever see all the stress in my mind
Talked to a man paralyzed from the neck down and he told me, "Take it one step at a time"
I know now, know now
Maybe I should slow down
[Chorus: Joey Jewish]
I'm in need of Your mercy with a touch of Your grace
You see me down on my knees, always seekin' Your face
Lord, this life is so crazy, there's so much I could say
When I pray, but I hear You tellin' me to take a break
Sayin', "Wait on Me, wait on Me"
I know You're hearin' my prayer, no You never fail us
That's what gives me confidence to wait
[Verse 3: Ruslan]
Your will is in Your ways
And help my thoughts and what I want not get in Your way
And help me not be so honest that I forget Your truth
And help me not be so authentic that I forget what it's like to walk authentically with You
Your way is in Your will
And Your will is Your ways
A generation that's so obsessed with being real
We'd rather be real than do what You say
Your will is in Your ways (huh)
So help me know Your ways
Help me do things Your way
Help me be independent of the shackles "they" lay
Help me be so transformed by Your Word that I'm independent of any words "they" say
Help me love "they"
"They" who think they are smarter than You and can care less about Your ways
Help me to love well but not cheapen Your grace
Help me remember that sin can be anything done outside of faith
Help me to have more faith
Give me a deeper hunger for Your truth
Thank You for shaking my tree
Please bring more depth to the root
Help me to not take any offense
Even when the offense was intended to hurt
Please help fortify my mind
And empower me for Your work
Your will is in Your ways
And Your ways are in Your will
Please transform me from the inside out so that
Your ways become my will
I'm in need of Your mercy with a touch of Your grace
You see me down on my knees, always seekin' Your face
Lord, this life is so crazy, there's so much I could say
When I pray, but I hear You tellin' me to take a break
Sayin', "Wait on Me, wait on Me"
I know You're hearin' my prayer, no You never fail us
That's what gives me confidence to wait
