STORY BEHIND THE SONG: DecembeRadio's "Find You Waitin...
Sometimes God decides to heal us when we least expect it. As we wrote “Find You Waiting,” we realized that’s just what He was doing.


Within the last year, almost everyone in the band, including our producer Scotty Wilbanks, has lost someone dear to their heart. We had a chance to meet Scotty’s friend, Chris Odell, before he passed away with cancer. At Chris’ funeral, his wife stood over him raising her hands and praising God amidst her sorrow. When Scotty shared the story of the funeral with us, it struck a chord in our hearts to write a song about how, no matter what current problem we might be facing, God’s love and mercy is always waiting there for us. We realized that holding on to the pain we all face was only keeping us from God’s healing power.

Psalm 139: 7-8 says, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.”


Sometimes, God is the last one we turn to when we have struggles. So no matter what fire we’re facing or how small we feel in a situation, let’s remember that God is big enough to turn our tears into joy; and if we look, we’ll always find Him waiting.” -- JOSH REEDY (DECEMBERADIO)


“Find You Waiting” can be found on DecembeRadio’s self-titled debut album. Check out the band’s artist page for more info.


Find You Waiting


I’ve heard the angels and I’ve seen the devil
Fought with the lion, stepped through the fire
I’ve been in the valley when it was dry
Walked through the desert to the other side

I’m not a preacher and I’m not a hero
My life has never been that kind
But there is one thing that I hold onto
I am Yours and Lord, You are mine

CHORUS
Through all these years
You have been there
Dried all my tears
And answered my prayers
I just wanna feel Your presence again
I’m down on my knees in need of a friend
And I’ll find You waiting there for me

I’ve seen a widow cry through her sorrow
And still raise her hands in the midst of it all
And Lord I’m reminded that when I was weary
You carried me, yes, You carried me

CHORUS
Through all these years
You have been there
Dried all my tears
And answered my prayers
I just wanna feel Your presence again
I’m down on my knees in need of a friend
And I’ll find You waiting there

And in the midst of a struggle
There is one thing I know, yes it is
You’ll never leave me, You’ll never let go

I’ve heard the angels and I’ve seen the devil
Fought with the lion, stepped straight through that fire

CHORUS
Through all these years
You have been there
Dried all my tears
And answered my prayers
I just wanna feel Your presence again
I’m down on my knees in need of a friend
And I’ll find You waiting, Lord I find You waiting there for me
Waiting, I’ll find You waiting there
