Its main theme borrows inspiration from the popular biblical passage in Isaiah 40 that says, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dante Bowe] I don’t believe in fairytales, I guess I’ve outgrown them
But that doesn’t mean that I don’t believe
That there’s something bigger than me
‘Cause I’ve seen, in a hospital room
When the doctors said, “Sorry, there’s nothing more we can do”
Well, it wasn’t true [Verse 2: Dante Bowe] I’ve never seen a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
But I’ve got a promise I can hold in the middle of the struggle
God, if You said it, You’ll perform it
May not be how I want You to
But here’s what I’ll do [Chorus: Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] I’m gonna wait on You
I’m gonna wait on You
I’ve tasted Your goodness
I’ll trust in Your promise
I’m gonna wait on You
Yes, I’m gonna wait on You (Yeah)
I’ve tasted Your goodness
I’ll trust in Your promise
I’m gonna wait on You
Yes, I will, yes, I will (Yeah)
I will, I will, I will (I will) Yeah [Verse 3: Dante Bowe,
Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] I know You’ve ordered every step
Yeah, You are the Author
And there’s no predicting what is next
But You hold the future
And all the questions they come second
To the one I know is true, yeah
You’ve always been true [Chorus: Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] So I’m gonna wait on You, yeah
I’m gonna wait on You
I’ve tasted Your goodness
I’ll trust in Your promise
I’m gonna wait on You (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’m gonna wait on You (Jesus)
I’ve tasted Your goodness
I’ll trust in Your promise
I’m gonna wait on You
[Interlude: Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] (It’s the least I can do)
It’s the least I can do
It’s what You’ll do, what You’ll do
What else is there to do?
(It’s the least I can do)
[3:02?] [Bridge: Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] So wait on the Lord, wait on the Lord
He will renew your strength, hey hey
So wait I say

(So wait) So wait I say [Interlude: Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] Somebody worship while you wait
Somebody worship while you wait
Somebody worship while you wait
Strength is rising, faith is rising, hope is rising
You mount up on wings as eagles
You shall walk, not get weary
You shall run, but not faint
Just wait on the Lord, wait
You should just wait
You should just wait (You should just wait)
Instead of trying in your own strength
You should just wait
Instead of calculating what would happen if you go wrong
You should just wait
My steps are ordered by the Lord, yeah
I should just wait [Interlude: Chandler Moore, Dante Bowe] They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up, up on wings
Like an eagle, and they soar
They shall walk, and not get weary
They shall run, and not faint
That’s what happens when you wait
Happens when you wait [Outro: Dante Bowe & Chandler Moore] They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew, renew their strength
They shall mount up, up on wings
Like an eagle, and soar
They shall walk, and not get weary
They shall run, and not faint
That’s what happens when you wait
That’s what happens when you
That’s what happens when you wait
You get a little stronger
That’s what happens when you wait
You get a little stronger
That’s what happens when you wait
You get a little stronger
That’s what happens when you wait
You get a little stronger
That’s what happens when you wait
They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew, renew their strength
They shall mount up on the wings
Like an eagle, and they soar
They shall walk, not get weary
They shall run, and not faint
That’s what happens when you wait
That’s what happens when you wait
That’s what happens when you wait
You’re getting stronger
That’s what happens when you wait
You’re getting wiser
That’s what happens when you wait
You’re getting wiser
That’s what happens when you wait
That’s what happens when you wait
Just wait on the Lord
That’s what happens when you wait
That’s what happens when you wait
