You Waited

Theology & Meaning

You Waited celebrates the divine patience and faithfulness of God who waited for the right moment to move — and who waited alongside the believer through their long season of waiting. The song draws on Psalm 40 where God lifts the believer out of the pit after waiting patiently, and on the broader biblical theme that God's timing is both sovereign and good even when it feels delayed from a human perspective.
