I began writing “Waiting for My King” on Christmas Eve in the village of Tuum, Samburu…
It was quiet, except for the wind coming over the mountain late that night. All I had was the pretty guitar intro and the first line, “I am waiting for a King.” In a few months, the first verse and chorus came like a flood and I wrote like crazy putting it on paper. The message of this song was so good, I could hardly wait to complete & record it…need I say, I was really excited! But hard as I tried, the song stopped there. There was a complete year of no lyrics, Absolutely Nothing! Though I thought on the song often, it was like staring at a blank wall. Writer’s block? Maybe, but look deeper. Jesus was helping me to experience the reality of what and why He gave me the song in the first place.
Then, one afternoon while fetching water, out of the blue, came the 2nd verse, starting with…
Wait for it…
“I’m impatient…”
Considering the title, it made me laugh out loud!
Jesus has a much bigger sense of humor than we give Him credit for!
I hope you'll enjoy this collection of songs penned during my stay with the amazing people in Samburu, Kenya. Their lives are hard, but many of them have found hope in Christ, that one day we will be with Him and the difficulties of this life will be no more. May His promise in these songs be a daily encouragement to you!
