“I WILL WAIT FOR YOU” (THE REMIX-REFIX)
ORIGINALLY BY JANETTE…IKZ (P4CM- PASSION FOR CHRIST
MOVEMENT)
So it all seemed cool
for everyone to be in a relationship
But me
Mama always said I
was beautiful,
But beautiful wasn’t
enough
So I took matters into
my own hands
And ended up with
him
Him who displayed
the characteristics
Of a liar, cheater,
an abuser and a thief
So why was I
surprised when he broke into my heart
We were just
friends, I claimed
But deep down I had
already decided
From day one that
even though it wasn’t,
I would make him the
one
You know what; I was
tired of being alone
My sand clock
ticking, come on ladies
You understand the
age-gap where you’re tired
Of always being the
bridesmaid
I wanted to be the
bride, so I took him for a ride
He had a form of
Godliness but not much
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I
was gonna make him the one
And didn’t God not
command us to reach the ungodly in the great commission?
But hey, hey, I can
change him
All clogged with my
will
I stopped his will
from flowing into me
Through my ignorance
He saw
Cracked open my heart
and put in a renewed heart
A renewed spirit
I fully comprehend
how much I need to wait on you
See, the bad thing
is I knew he wasn’t from the beginning
Because from the
beginning was the word
And he didn’t even
shine like your son
Out of the abundance
of the heart
The mouth speaks
And all he could
whisper were sweet nothing
He couldn’t even
pray when I needed him to
Asking him to fast
would be absurd
And out of this
world. So forget it!
But I know you
You are already
praying and interceding for me
Day and night
Even though you
haven’t met me
Let me assure you I
will wait for you
I will not date,
communicate or socialize
To appease my
boredom and quench my thirst for attention
His first name Luke,
his last name Warm
I won’t settle for
false companionship
Attempting to find
warmth on the embrace of his arms
I will stay in my
bed alone
With my poems on how
I will wait for you
Not flirting with
how much I can get away with while saved
He won’t even come
close
Our fingers won’t
even interlock
We won’t even
exchange breath
Coz I have thoughts
that I have saved
Thoughts that only
the Father equips you to open
I will no longer get
ranted down from so-called friends and family talks
About the concern
for my biological clock
When I serve the
author of time
Who is not subject
to time, but I to Him
If we could
role-play, you could be Abraham
And I Sarah
Oh, you could be
Isaac
And I Rebekah- a
servant’s answered prayer
I am bone of your
bone
Flesh of your flesh
Made up of your rib
And once we meet,
like electrons
I will be bond to
your nucleus
Completely
indivisible atoms
We even speak the
same math
One plus one plus
one equals three
But really equals
one if you add them
We were all created
in His own image
But you have the
ability to project
Reflect and even
detect the son
If I were to explain
what you look like
You’d have to look
like the star
A son of the sun
I’d gain energy
simply from the light you shine on me
I would need you in
order to complete my photosynthesis
I will await your
Revelation
But then again, from
Genesis
And I will know you
because when you speak
I will be reminded
of Solomon’s wisdom
Your ability to
lead, will remind me of Moses
Your faith will
remind me of Abraham
Your confidence in
God’s word will remind me of Daniel
Your inspiration
will remind me of Paul
Your heart for God
will remind me of David
Your attention to
detail will remind me of Noah
Your integrity will
remind me of Joseph
And your ability to
bend on your own will
Will remind me of
the disciples
But your ability to
love selflessly and unconditionally
Will remind me of
Christ
But I won’t need to
identify you by any special math-use
Or any special mark
Coz His word will be
tattered all over you heart
And you will know me
and find me
Where the boldness
of Esther meets
The warm-closeness
of Ruth
Where the
hospitality of Lydiah
Is in line with the
submission of Mary
Which is engulfed in
the tears of a praying Hannah?
I will be the one
drenched in Proverbs 31
But to my Father- my
Father who has known me before I was birthed to this earth
Only if you see fit
I desire your will
above mine
So even if you call
me to a life of singleness
My heart is content
with you
The one who has seen
You are the greatest
love story ever told
The greatest love
ever known
You’re forever my
judge
And I am forever
your witness
And I pray forever I
be found
About my Father’s
business
And I will always be
yours
And I will always
wait for you Lord
More than the
watchmen wait for the morning
More than the
watchmen wait for the morning
I will wait!
