"Wait" by Colonial Heights Worship: God Is Working in the Wait


Colonial Heights Worship - Wait

What do you do when the waiting feels unbearable? 

“Wait” by Colonial Heights Worship offers a powerful perspective on waiting. Life can break people. Seasons arrive that can leave you exhausted, hollow, and desperate for relief — and you may feel that God is distant. The writers of this song knew that feeling quite well. “Wait” is a song for those moments: the pain, the broken places, the tears, the mourning. The song doesn’t dismiss the suffering, but acts as a compass that helps you get through it. 

Colonial Heights Worship names the struggles, “In the pain, in the broken // In tears, in the mourning.” Immediately followed by a declaration that changes everything: “Your love will never fail.” That’s the key message of the song, based on scripture. “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (ESV) 

Waiting on God isn’t passive. It’s an act of trust, a daily decision to believe His character when your circumstances contradict it. The song encourages you to call upon the Lord, to turn your ear to heaven, and to receive the whisper of His peace. It’s the kind of peace that only He can give. He protects you in His peace, even when life is crushing you. 

Stop focusing on your struggles and focus on the One who holds the outcome. Listen to Wait by Colonial Heights Worship and let it encourage you to find true peace in Him. “Cause in the wait You are working // For my good, for Your glory.”

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 62:5; Romans 8:28)

Background:

"Wait" is a song for the moments in life when you feel tired, broken, hopeless, and desperate for God to deliver you from your present hurt. It's a reminder that God will bring His people out of their troubles and into His presence in eternity.

Release date: May 22, 2026

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"I Stand Amazed In The Presence" by Jonathan Abel: When Everything Fails, This Holds

When life falls apart, what’s left to stand on?  At 32 years old, Jonathan Abel was in the hospital, unable to stand or walk without his heart racing above 130bpm. His nervous system was shutting down, and he didn’t know if he’d see 33. In the silence of that crisis, something broke open — not his faith, but his illusions about where his faith had been anchored. Health, strength, and the ability to fix yourself. These feel like solid ground until they aren’t. Jonathan writes that the temptation to root your identity in perfect health and great wealth is “deceivingly real.” But when everything he trusted in his own body failed, one truth held firm: Christ had already done what Jonathan could never have done for himself. This is the key message behind this song, “He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own. He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.” Jesus didn’t observe suffering from a distance — He absorbed it.  Romans 8:18 says it plainly: “I...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
