Help me to wait on You
Help me to wait on You
I'm gonna wait until I hear from You
I'll wait for You to see me through
Abide in Your word and know it's true
Stand still 'til You tell me to move
I'm gonna wait until I hear from You
Help me to wait for You to see me through
Abide in Your word and know it's true
Stand still and wait until I hear from You
Lord, help me to wait on You patiently
And Lord, help me to see Your face while I'm waiting
You said in Your word, be anxious for nothing
So I'll continue serving You
Yes, I'll continue praising You while I wait
Oh, wait, help me to wait on You
Help me to wait on You
I'm gonna wait (wait) until I hear from You
I'll wait (wait) for You to see me through
Abide in Your word and know it's true
Stand still 'til You tell me to move
I'm gonna wait (wait) until I hear from You
Help me Jesus (wait) for You to see me through
Oh, abide in Your word and know it's true
Stand still and wait (oh, Lord, I need You, oh)
Oh, Lord, help me to wait on You patiently
And Lord, oh, Lord, help me to see Your face while I'm waiting
You said, in Your word, be anxious for nothing
So I'll continue serving You
Yes, I'll continue praising You
Oh, while I wait (wait) until I hear from You
Help me Jesus (wait) for You to see me through
Oh, abide in Your word and know it's true
Stand still and wait (Oh, Lord, I need You, oh)
I'll wait (wait) until I hear from You
Somebody may need to wait for God to tell You what to do
Oh, abide in Your word and know it's true
Stand still and wait (oh, until I hear a word from You)
Lord, I know I need You (wait)
So I won't move, I won't move, no (wait)
Abide in Your word and know it's true (ah, help me to rest in You)
Stand still and wait (I'm gonna be still, I'm gonna be still)
Lord, now wait (wait) until I hear from You
Somebody may need to wait for God to tell You what to do (wait)
Oh, abide in Your word and know it's true (he's calling us to seek his faith)
Stand still and wait (just take some time)
Take some time and be still
Take some time and be still, wait on Jesus ('til I hear from You)
When you don't know what else to do, just wait
When you don't know what else to do, wait ('til I hear from You)
His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, yeah
His ways are higher than our ways, oh ('til I hear from You)
Just wait on, wait on
Encourage somebody, tell' 'em, wait on (wait on, wait on)
Just wait on and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Just trust His way and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Be still and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Just wait on and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Just wait on and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Just wait on and wait on (wait on, wait on)
He sees you, wait on (wait on, wait on)
He hears you, wait on (wait on, wait on)
Don't move, just wait (wait on, wait on)
Don't move, just wait (wait on, wait on)
Don't move, don't move (wait on, wait on)
Be still and wait on (wait on, wait on)
He knows right where you are (wait on, wait on)
Just wait on and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Be encouraged, wait on (wait on, wait on)
Trust His way and wait on (wait on, wait on)
Oh, be encouraged while you wait
Seek His face while you wait
Say, Lord, I love You, Lord, I trust You
All my hope is in You, oh
Just wait on, wait on, wait on, wait on
No matter where you are, wait on, wait on, oh
The song "Wait" by Nia Allen is a song about waiting on God's word and guidance. The first verse starts with the singer stating that she will wait on God and asks for help to wait on Him. She will wait until she hears from God and will stand still until He tells her to move. The second verse echoes the same message and asks Jesus for help to wait patiently and to see His face while waiting. The bridge reminds the listener that God said to be anxious for nothing and to continue serving and praising Him while waiting. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus and different lines encouraging the listener to be still, trust His ways, and seek His face while waiting.
The message of waiting on God is a familiar theme in songs, poems, and books. Waiting on God's guidance can be challenging, and the singer acknowledges that with the repetition of the line "help me to wait." By waiting, she shows her trust in God's plan and direction for her life. The song encourages the listener to seek God's face and to be still and wait on Him, which can be a challenging task in today's fast-paced world. The message is simple but powerful: trust in God, and He will lead the way.

Well CeCe is a musical mentor! Nia sang background vocals for CeCe for a few years! Nia only like a few artists is the best emulator of what she learned and perfected it through the gift God has given her! The best part is she stays true to her own voice and tone! Her anointing is unique !
@rosieturner635
Yes yes yes 🙌

Wow, that is amazing!
@DESTANYkBOOTHES
@@daniellemartin5754 I heard the original it was ok, but who ever changed it made it more emotional and soft I think the first one was soft but it went to a uptempo beat... I love this version way much better
@citywomenandchefcynthiasch7393
