Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
This song stays in the waiting place without going silent - choosing courage, patience, and worship before the answer is visible.

Behind This Song
We Will Wait is built around a quiet act of worship: choosing to bless the name of Jesus while waiting.
The song moves through both mountain and valley language, holding together joy, hardship, patience, and surrender.
Its final turn names the freedom that comes as worship rises: shackles and chains coming undone, hearts and hands being unchained before God.
Lyrics
We will wait patiently for You
In this moment, we'll bless Your holy name
We will wait patiently for You
In this moment, we'll bless Your holy name
We will wait patiently for You
On this mountain, we'll bless Your holy name
We will wait patiently for You
In this valley, we'll bless Your holy name
Singing holy, holy, holy is Your name
Singing holy, holy, holy is Your name, Jesus
Singing holy, holy, holy is Your name, Jesus
Singing holy, holy, holy is Your name
And these shackles and chains are coming undone
As we lift our hands to You
And our hearts and our hands are coming unchained
As we bless Your holy name
Rooted in Scripture
Acts 16:25-26
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God... and everyone's chains came loose.
The image of chains coming undone echoes the freedom that can break in when worship rises from a confined place.
