Waiting on God isn’t wasted time.
Cindy Clark sat with a handful of piano bars for months. No lyrics came. No verse followed. She played that same little melody over and over, loving the vibe, and waiting for something to happen that she couldn’t rush. Until one day, desperate and praying, she heard that inner whisper: “go and sing Psalm 130.” Within ten minutes, “Out Of The Depths (Psalm 130)” poured out. “Out of the depths I cry out to you Lord, Lord hear my voice.”
Psalm 130 describes that tension. The psalmist writes, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning” (Psalm 130:5–6, ESV). A watchman doesn’t guess when it will be dawn. He knows it’s coming, and he’ll stay alert and ready.
That’s the posture we need to develop. Your circumstances might feel stuck. Your prayers might feel unanswered. The key is to stay alert anyway. Keep on watching for what God is doing, even in the waiting. Forgiveness will meet you in the depths, and redemption will follow closely behind it.
Where do you need to trust God’s timing this week? Don’t try to sit on it on your own. Name it and bring your cry to God.
May this song move and inspire you. Give it a listen, feel that disco groove that Cindy and her producer gave it, and let its message remind you that hope has a sound. “Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and full redemption.”

Background:
I had just finished writing Psalm 121 “I lift my eyes” when I started playing this little melody on my piano, I loved the vibe of it, and so I would play it over and over, but I couldn’t play anything other than those few bars. For months it was all I played, I had a strong feeling that there was going to be a song come out of this little intro I had come to love. Each day I would play these notes hoping that the rest of the song would follow, but it didn’t, not for awhile. Until one day, when i was in a place of desperation crying out to God in prayer I heard that inner whisper, go and sing psalm 130, as soon as I opened to that page, I played that funky little intro, and a melody followed with ease as I sang out the first verse “Out of the depths I cry out to you Lord, Lord hear my voice, Let your ears be attentive to my cry, my cry for mercy. It was written in 10 minutes. I Love the groove of this song, its actually my favourite so far. I knew I wanted a bit of a Disco vibe and my producer Brad did a great job creating that for me.
Psalm 130 is a renowned penitential prayer and one of the 15 songs of accents-historically sung by pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. It is a powerful exploration of crying out from deep despair, receiving divine forgiveness and actively waiting for God's redemption.
It’s a song that’s fun to sing and play. It's also the first track that I sang all the parts too, which was a great challenge. Jesse Molloy played sax for me again, he is so good go check it out! I love listening and dancing to this song especially in the season I find myself in. Do you find yourself in the “depths” Put your hope in the Lord for with him is unfailing love, and full redemption.
