04. I’ll Wait For You

Wonder
by Michael W. Smith



 

Morning Mr. Repo Man
Give me one more week and
I’ll be gone

It’s been a long hard month of Sundays
And still no rain
Nothin’ left around here but the dust and shame
I know you know
I know you know

And I’m tryin’ to find a way
To hold on to my faith

While I wait for you
I wait for you

Now I lie awake at night
Tryin’ not to think
But these are the hardest times I’ve ever seen
I’m still holdin’ on

I know you never said it’d be easy
All thick and no thin
But the man who waits
Is the man who wins
Holdin’ on
Oh yeah, I’m holdin’ on

Gonna hide myself away
Hide myself away

And I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You know I need you now

And I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
I’m gonna wait for you
I’ll wait for you

I’m gonna walk on
And not get weary now
I’m gonna run
And not fall down
I know that someday
I’ll get my wings somehow
And you will carry me
You will carry me

I’m gonna rise up
Like an eagle now
Gonna ride that big blue sky
And should I someday
Fall back down again
You will carry me
You will carry me even now
Carry me even now
You’re gonna carry me
You will carry
You will carry me even now
Oh, carry me, oh yeah

Behind the Song:
“That song musically was inspired by The Edge. I still love the video The Making Of The Joshua Tree, Daniel Lanois and all the interviews and stuff. At the end of one of U2’s songs, The Edge has this big opportunity to just go on this big, huge run, but he just grabs a guitar and just sort of stays in a groove, holds back. I thought it was a cool riff, so I picked up the guitar and started to change it a little bit and I literally wrote the music for the song in four minutes. Then, I just knew that this song needed to be called ‘I’ll Wait For You.’ ‘Morning, Mr. Repo Man.’ Life’s hard, and you can picture it: Midwest, driving a truck, the crops won’t grow, and I started thinking about the Don Henley song, ‘A Month Of Sundays’ on Building The Perfect Beast, where he sits on the porch wating for the rains to come, but they don’t come. And if the rains don’t come, the crops don’t grow, and if the crops don’t grow, there’s nothing to eat. So it has that sort of despair, but still underneath it all that sense of hope. My favorite line is ‘The man who waits is the man who wins.’ That was Tommy’s line, kind of says it all.” - Michael W. Smith
