Wait
Lecrae feat. Steven Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If he ain't following Christ, he can't lead you
I ain't tryin' to deceive you
I know he look better than most men
But without Christ, looks are no reason for bragging and boasting
You got your heart on him
You knew from the beginning not to even start on him
Compromising your faith for sex
Hurting yourself and God
Cause you outside of marital context
What's next?
Mami show respect for your body
Instead of getting naked and naughty
Like sex is a hobby
You know what you're supposed to do
Let him loose and cling to the God that wants to get close to you
You've been blessed as a chosen few
Mami, if ain't rollin' wit Christ
Then don't let him roll wit you
Cause you've been blessed as a chosen few
And if ain't rollin' wit God
Then don't let him roll wit you
WAIT!
CHORUS:
I know you're the apple of momma's eye
A star in your daddy's sky
But God knows you living a lie
You giving a guy, everything your husband deserves
It's absurd
Don't follow your feelings, just follow The Word
You wanna be in a relationship
Well, you can give him your all, but how deep can the relations get
If your God's on the sideline
You won't be happy I promise
Until you understand, that God is the lifeline
He ain't pleased with lust
So even if it feels right
Remember, he ain't pleased with us, when we
Let our emotions loose without a ring on the finger
It's only gonna come back to sting ya
Don't let the singers sing you sweet lullabies
Without giving The King's sweet love a try
It ain't none better
Who else you know,that would give up his life
Just to love you forever
WAIT!
CHORUS:
I know you thought that y'all could win together
Y'all been together
But all y'all do is sin together
You're wasting your own time
You keep deceiving your mind
Saying that this is part of God's design
Knowing he treating you good
Know his ways is nice
But he can't love you like he should
He's not engaged to Christ
And you know this ain't the man for you
But you hold on like God ain't got better plans for you
The whole worlds says 'you should be dating'
God says you should be serving him while your patiently waitin'
Everybody rushin and racin
Huggin' and kissin' and hold hands, all before their days end
Yea, I know it's hard but TRUST
I wouldn't waste my breath on this song if it wasn't a MUST
The same God that made you
The same God that died for your sins and saved you
HE ain't tryin' to play you, WAIT!
CHORUS:
Your ready to go'..wait!
Can't take no more'.wait!
I know it's hard but, God is never late
Don't follow your feelings'wait!
Just follow HIS Will and'..wait!
Girl, serve the Lord and don't anticipate.
WAIT!
In the song "Wait" by Lecrae feat. Steven Carter, the lyrics are a warning to a woman who is dating a man who does not follow Christ. The song states that "if he ain't following Christ, he can't lead you" indicating that any relationship that is not centered on Christ will not be successful. The woman is encouraged to let go of the man she is dating and instead cling to the God who wants to get close to her. The song advises her not to compromise her faith for sex or give her all to a man who is not engaged to Christ.
The chorus of the song reminds the woman that God knows she is living a lie and giving a man everything that her husband deserves. The song encourages her to follow the word of God instead of her feelings, and to trust that even if it feels right, God is not pleased with lust. The song advises the woman to serve the Lord, while patiently waiting for the right man who is "rollin wit God."
