"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

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...

"Send Me an Angel" by Josh Orange: Grace for the Struggle at 5 AM

What if help is one honest word away? Josh Orange, a folk-rock group from Sydney, Australia, wrote “Send Me an Angel” in about thirty minutes. Structure, lyric, the whole thing arrived at once and became the spark for the band’s sixth studio album. Some prayers work that way. They don’t wait for polish. The song opens at 5 am. A man puts his feet on the floor and asks Jesus, “for the strength to begin.” He doesn’t ask for much. He works for his living, and he isn’t proud of his sins. Then comes the plea: “Come help me Jesus. Send me an angel.” Sound familiar? You’ve tried hard, opened the door, and done it again. Gordon Burke, the lead singer of Josh Orange, sings about running all the way to Nova Scotia, and the further he went, the darker he got. Distance never fixed it. Ask yourself, where have you been running? Listen closely and notice what he never does. He never cleans himself up first. He prays with “blood on my boots,” and he prays honestly. Scripture says that’s the right w...
