I Will Wait for You (Psalm 130) - Shane & Shane

What gets you out of bed in the morning? What keeps you from hiding there?

Maybe, like me, you have had stretches of your life where you're not sure if you ever actually got out of bed. Maybe you have cried until you weren't sure you could ever cry any more tears, and then cried for hours more. Maybe you have shut down, shut out, numbed out, blocked out to the point where you simply sit and stare with unseeing eyes. Maybe you've been told that you just need to "get over it" or that there's "no reason to be upset". Maybe you believe that it is your fault. Maybe you believe that there is no way anyone could possibly love you or forgive what you have done.

"Out of the depths I cry to You, in darkest places I will call. Incline Your ear to me anew, and hear my cry for mercy Lord. Were You to count my sinful ways, how could I come before Your throne. Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze, I stand redeemed by grace alone."

How well I know the feelings; the depths of the pit. The self condemnation, the hatred. But He doesn't count your sinful ways. He meets our gaze with full forgiveness.

"So put Your hope in God alone, take courage in His power to save, completely and forever won, by Christ emerging from the grave."

We are fully and completely saved... that all who trust in Him find healing in His sacrifice.

When I'm stuck in bed. When my thoughts are stuck on negative repeat...

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight
I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied

Lean into His truth, found in His word, until your soul is satisfied.



Out of the depths I cry to You
In darkest places I will call
Incline Your ear to me anew
And hear my cry for mercy Lord

Were You to count my sinful ways
How could I come before Your throne
Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze
I stand redeemed by grace alone

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied

So put Your hope in God alone
Take courage in His power to save
Completely and forever won
By Christ emerging from the grave

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied, oh, ooh

Now He has come to make a way
And God Himself has paid the price
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight

Oh I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight, oh, ooh
Oh You are my delight
You're my delight

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied
