We Are Waiting (2)

I know I already did a blog post for this song, but I was helping with worship at a conference this weekend, and this song sort of came to the forefront because it tied in so well with the theme that emerged: waiting on God. (Plus, I got a new mic recently and felt like re-recording it).

I was reminded this weekend that waiting is such a crucial aspect of the believer's identity. We wait in confidence because we know that He who did not spare his only Son but gave Him up willingly, will not withhold anything good from His children (Romans 8:31-32). And we wait with a strong hope because of the coming Kingdom, where we will know Love personified in all His fullness.

P.S. I kind of went to town on this recording... I couldn't help myself... but I hope I'm not setting a precedent... I would still like this to be a place where I can throw up (very) rough recordings of songs I'm writing...

About This Blog

My primary goal for this blog is that it be an encouragement to you. In March 2012, I finished my first album, "Glad" (which you can check out on iTunes), but there are a number of other songs that I've written or am currently writing, and I wanted a place where I could share these songs on a more regular basis with anyone who's interested. Most of these songs are very simple recordings done in my bedroom with a mic and a guitar. Some of them I've taken an hour to record, and others I've taken a little more time on, mostly depending on the season of life I find myself in.

You'll notice the playlist to the left. Each of these songs has their own blog entry, with some thoughts about the song, perhaps how/why I wrote it, and the song lyrics (and recently I've been adding chords as well). My desire is not just to post a song to listen to, but a word of encouragement that will make you think!
