Lyrics
For He satisfies the longing soul
And fills the hungry soul with goodness
Those those are hungry and thirsty
We shall be fed yeah
In this place the move of Your spirit
As one voice we agree
I'm believing You to hit us
With a wave of Your glory
I'm believing for You fire fall
That in Your strength we will walk
I'm believing for a revival
To be birth inside our hearts
We wait, we wait
We won't move until You come
We wait, we wait
Till in one with Your spirit we become
We wait with a heart of desperation
We wait from a place of faith
We are not in a hurry
Not in a hurry
We long to see Your glory within
Breathe of life
Pour Your oil saturate us
Saturate us with Your anointing
As our hearts cry desperately
Holy spirit welcome
One touch is what we need
Breathe on us revival
As grace awaits for me
God of power God of wonders
Your presence is all we need
We wait, we wait on You until You come
We wait, we wait
Till in one with Your spirit we become
We wait with a heart of desperation
We wait from a place of faith
We are not in a hurry
Not in a hurry
We long to see Your glory within
Holy Holy Holy one
Holy Holy Holy one
Without Your presence we're not moving
If You don't show up
We're not leaving
Holy Holy one
We wait, we wait on You until You come
We wait, we wait
Till in one with Your spirit we become
We wait with a heart of desperation
We wait from a place of faith
We are not in a hurry
Not in no hurry
We long to see Your glory
We wait, we wait on You until You come
We wait, we wait
Till in one with Your spirit we become
We wait with a heart of desperation
We wait from a place of faith
We are not in a hurry
Not in no hurry
We long to see Your glory revealed

Meaning & Inspiration
We Wait is shaped as a corporate prayer for the presence and work of the Holy Spirit. It begins with the biblical assurance that God satisfies the longing soul, then gathers its petitions around spiritual hunger, renewal, anointing, and glory. Repeated declarations of waiting emphasize dependence rather than haste. The worshippers refuse to move ahead without divine presence, expressing expectancy through a shared voice and a posture of faith.
The song also presents revival as an inward work before it becomes a wider event. Images of breath, oil, fire, and a wave of glory describe the desire to be filled and changed by God. Its opening closely echoes Psalm 107, while its prayer for the Spirit may also call to mind the disciples waiting together before Pentecost. The repeated holiness refrain keeps the focus on who God is, and the closing petitions frame worship as patient attention, spiritual thirst, and trust in divine power.
