John Waller, the artist who penned “While I’m Waiting,” dropped his sophomore album today, titled the same.
Waller says, “The important thing to remember while we are waiting on God is to not just wait, but to actively wait. Serve, worship, and be faithful with what you have, where you are…even while you wait.”
“Many contemporary worship songs are vertical and are appropriately directed toward God,” he explains. “But I believe there is also a need for horizontal worship songs that are designed to build up the Body of Christ. The Word of God says, ‘You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.’ My calling is to go deeper into God’s Word and to let that truth set me free. My job is to put that truth into songs, and put those songs into the mouths of the people. I could write about topical issues and put a catchy hook in it, but that’s not eternal. The Word of God is the only thing that lasts forever.
Waller adds, “When people sing the truth of God’s Word, it changes their lives. I don’t know anything that is more powerful.”
