10 Beautiful Songs about Waiting on God to Inspire you
What’s Inside: List of Beautiful Songs about Waiting on God to Inspire You to Grow More in Faith
Music has always had a profound effect on me from the time I was a little girl.
It moved me, it inspired me, it encouraged me.
After I became a Christian and learned that there was amazing Christian music that praised the God I had given my life to and served whole heartedly, I was so happy.
And I’m not the only one that enjoys singing. The Bible says that God rejoices over us with singing!
My love of music would have a key role in service to God since I learned to play the piano, play the guitar and also sing.
Worship music has touched me most not with the fast paced songs of victory- although those songs are wonderful as well… but they’ve touched my soul the most when I’m waiting on God to move and hear God’s melodious truth resonates in my soul by song.

These hymns about waiting on God will allow your heart to be surrendered and put your trust in Him. He walks with us while we hold His hand.

When my sinking hopes are few
