We wait at the check-out, we wait at DMV
We'll wait at the drive-thru for a super-sized ice tea
We wait to see the doctor, we wait in line to vote
We'll wait for a summer sale on a terrific winter coat

We wait at the beauty shop, we wait for the mail
And every line you stand in, is the slowest without fail
We wait in line to purchase stamps, we wait for the fish to bite
We wait for night to turn to day and day to turn to night

We wait for our paycheck, then we wait at the bank
We wait at the gas pump to fill up our tank
We will stand and wait to sit down and eat
Then wait to pay when the meal is complete

We wait at the light, it's been red way too long
We wait for our spouses to admit that they're wrong
We wait because basically, we don't have a choice
So why is it so hard...to wait for God's voice?

We really should be used to waiting, we do it everyday
But when God says "Wait!", we say no, we want it our own way
You'll save yourself alot of trouble, if you trust that God knows best
When God says "Wait!", obey His voice and He will do the rest
