Lyrics
I will wait for You I will wait for You
When these mountains won't move
Still I'll wait here for You
I will take Your hand I will take Your hand
When I don't understand
Still I'll take Your hand
And You know my lying down
And You know my rising up
And where can I go that
You won't always be there waiting
I will wait for You I will wait for You
When these mountains won't move
Still I'll wait here for You
And You know my lying down
And You know my rising up
And where can I go that
You won't always be there waiting
And You know my lying down
And You know my rising up
And where can I go that
You won't always be there waiting
I won't give up on You
'Cause You don't give up on me
When I don't understand
You keep me standing
I won't give up on You
'Cause You don't give up on me
Lord in my unbelief
You keep believing in me
And someday through Heaven's door
I'll find what it all was for
Hope isn't far a way
'Cause You're here waiting
I will wait for You I will wait for You
When these mountains won't move
Still I'll wait here for You
I will take Your hand I will take Your hand
When I don't understand
Still I'll take Your hand
And You know my lying down
And You know my rising up
And where can I go that
You won't always be there waiting
And where can I go that
You won't always be there waiting for me

Meaning & Inspiration
The song builds a prayer of patience for moments when circumstances remain unmoved. The speaker chooses to wait, take God’s hand, and remain standing even when understanding does not come. That repeated commitment gives the song a quiet, persevering faith rather than a quick answer. The unmoving mountain serves as an image of difficulty that remains present while trust continues.
The lines about God knowing a person’s lying down and rising clearly echo Psalm 139’s picture of divine knowledge and inescapable presence. The plea for help in unbelief also recalls the honest cry in Mark 9:24. By pairing these images with hope beyond present trouble, the song presents waiting as an act of trust. Its closing look toward heaven keeps the focus on God’s faithful presence from present uncertainty to final understanding. Assurance does not depend on an immediate change of circumstances, but on the conviction that God has not abandoned the waiting person.
