BeBe Winans - Love's Coming Lyrics
Lyrics
Two things you promised me
The world and ecstacy
But all you've given are material things
When what I'm looking for
Sums up to so much more
And if nothing less I'm sure not settling
I lay awake in bed
Wonder what lies ahead
And in tomorrow said
What will it bring
No more concern myself
About this commons wealth
My futures on the shelf and I still believe
Chorus
I'm waiting
Waiting is easy
Cause I know, love's coming and make it alright.
Can't worry, don't see the need to,
Cause I know love's coming and make it alright.
It's not a game I play
When asked if I'm o.k.,
I've learned to smile and say
Every thing's fine.
I made my heart decide
O yes I will survive,
It's time to come alive
My turn to shine
My course about to change,
It feels a little strange,
Leaving behind the pain,
I've known all my life,
Ooh it's time to soar above,
I know that it must be love,
You are the meaning of and wont say good-bye,
Good-bye.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Only thing I need to know,
Is that I'll never let you go,
I've waited patiently,
And now you're standing here,
Next to me
Repeat Chorus

Meaning & Inspiration
BeBe Winans’ "Love's Coming," released on June 16, 1998, as part of the *Thank You - EP*, arrives as a potent anthem of spiritual resilience and expectant faith. The song immediately addresses a profound disillusionment with worldly promises, articulating a common human experience where the pursuit of "the world and ecstasy" yields only "material things," leaving a deep yearning for something far more substantial. This initial lament captures the universal emptiness of seeking fulfillment in transient earthly gains, echoing the wisdom found in Matthew 6:19-21, which cautions against storing up treasures on earth where they perish, contrasting it with the enduring nature of heavenly treasures. It also aligns with 1 John 2:15-17, warning against loving the world and its fleeting desires, reminding us that those who do the will of God live forever.
The core message swiftly transitions from disappointment to unwavering hope, encapsulated by the recurring declaration, "I'm waiting, Waiting is easy, Cause I know, love's coming and make it alright." This isn't a passive waiting but an active, confident anticipation rooted in spiritual conviction. The ease of this waiting stems from an absolute certainty in the arrival of a divine love that will set everything right, a powerful affirmation of God's faithfulness. This patient endurance is a testament to the believer's journey, reflecting Romans 8:25, which states, "if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Similarly, Psalm 27:14 encourages, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord," underscoring the strength derived from trusting in God's perfect timing. The song offers a stark contrast to the anxiety of the world, presenting a deep peace that only comes from knowing God's love is sovereign and assured.
BeBe Winans then delves into the practical outworking of this faith amidst adversity, revealing a profound inner fortitude. The lines about learning to "smile and say Everything's fine" and making the heart "decide O yes I will survive" speak to a God-given ability to maintain composure and hope even when circumstances are challenging. This is not a denial of pain but a choice to trust in a greater power, finding strength in Christ as described in Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." It speaks to the transformative power of spiritual peace that allows one to rise above trials, knowing that joy comes in the morning, as Psalm 30:5 promises.
The narrative arc culminates in a triumphant personal transformation, where the individual acknowledges, "My course about to change... Leaving behind the pain, I've known all my life." This segment celebrates the liberating power of God's love, enabling a departure from past hurts and a embrace of a new, soaring existence. This spiritual rebirth resonates deeply with 2 Corinthians 5:17, declaring, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" It signifies a profound shift from a life burdened by human limitations to one empowered by divine purpose. The conviction that "it's time to soar above, I know that it must be love" is a vibrant expression of renewed identity and destiny, reminiscent of Isaiah 40:31: "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
The bridge serves as a powerful covenant of unwavering commitment and divine presence, affirming, "Only thing I need to know, Is that I'll never let you go, I've waited patiently, And now you're standing here, Next to me." This heartfelt assurance solidifies the relationship with the divine, portraying God's steadfastness and ever-present companionship. It's the fulfillment of the patient waiting, the manifestation of "love's coming." This personal and intimate connection reflects the promise in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5, where God declares, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The realization that this divine love is not just a future hope but a present reality standing "next to me" offers immense comfort and empowerment, affirming that in God, we live and move and have our being. "Love's Coming" is a truly inspiring composition that speaks to the journey of faith, offering solace to the weary and strength to the hopeful, ultimately pointing every seeking heart to the unwavering, transformative, and ever-present love of God.
