Lyrics
Spoken Testimony
When you know that you know you know, that His abilities is oh! Glory to God glory to God, and I know sometimes in situations like tonight, people may sit and look at you like you are crazy
But if you don't know my pain you will never understand my praise. Because over 20 years ago I had a nervous breakdown and the doctors said I will never get well, I was on welfare, I was divorced, I was broken. But today the [?] has made me whole and that is why I worship Him. It don't matter what you think about me, I owe Him all the praise. Because if it had not been for the Lord who was on my side, where would I be. I would be like a sheep without a shepherd. I would be tossed to and fro, with no direction but I found Him to be a doctor in the sick room, I found Him to be a lawyer in the courtroom, I found Him to be a healer, Oh somebody ought to bless Him! If you seek in your body He still heals, shout ...
Whatever you're in tonight you can come out. You say sister 'How do I get out?'. Praise your way out, can I get someone to praise your way out. You might be sitting next to somebody who may not be needing a miracle. But tell 'em I have an emergency, I got to praise my way out. Come on I tried it and it works,
He breaks every battle, that's why I don't care how long it takes, I don't mind waiting. Now I don't think you heard what I said. I don't care how long it takes, if it takes Him 20 years. Because the Bible says if any man is in Christ, He is a new creature, all things are passed away behold all things are become new. So guess what I'm not just waiting on God, I'm waiting in God, because I know He holds my destiny. The Bible says He knows the way that I take and when He has tried me I shall come out. Somebody just start shouting if you know that He's making a way for you to come out Eh!. I don't mind waiting on the Lord.
Early one morning in 5am prayer, I had finished the prayer on Tuesday morning and had raised the sacrificial offering, and the presence of the Lord filled the room. And I was going through a modest trial at the time, and the spirit of the Lord dropped this words and this song in my spirit. And I just started singing and it has become my anthem. When i can't see my way out of a situation and the devil try to make me frustrated. Because it looks like the Lord aint moving. I turn around and tell 'devil I don't mind waiting'. Somebody just start shouting that. Shout it back at the face of the enemy. Let the devil know that whatever he's gonna try aint going to work because you don't mind waiting...
Chorus (x4)
I don't mind waiting
I don't mind waiting
I don't mind waiting
On the Lord
Interlude
Can we say it again
Chorus (x4)
I don't mind waiting
I don't mind waiting
I don't mind waiting
On the Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Don’t Mind Waiting - Praise Your Way Out” by Juanita Bynum is a recorded message with a sung refrain. Much of the text is spoken testimony. She says that if people do not know her pain, they will not understand her praise, and describes a nervous breakdown and a hard time of poverty and brokenness before she was made whole. She credits God as doctor, lawyer and healer.
The central appeal is to praise one’s way out of trouble. She tells listeners that the way out of a situation is to praise, and that waiting on God is not passive, because she is not only waiting on Him but waiting in Him, since He holds her destiny. She says the sung refrain came to her in early morning prayer.
The refrain, “I don’t mind waiting on the Lord,” repeats many times. The ideas are close to Isaiah 40:31, Job 23:10 and Psalm 27:14, which speak of waiting on the Lord, being tried and coming out, and taking courage. The recording is a spoken and sung encouragement.
