[Intro — punchy drums, distorted guitar riff, vocal chops] Hey! Yeah, you know what? You’ve been saying “someday” for a while now. [Verse 1 — rhythmic, fast male vocal] I’ll pray when I get my head together I’ll change when the timing gets better I’ll read that Bible when I find some time I’ll give God everything when everything’s mine I’ll forgive when they apologize I’ll trust when I can see the other side I’ll follow Jesus when I’m ready to commit Funny how “someday” keeps saying “not yet” [Pre-Chorus — building] You’re waiting on a feeling You’re waiting on a sign You’re waiting for perfection Like perfection’s coming by [Chorus — huge, infectious] WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? A lightning bolt? A voice from heaven? A perfect little moment With every question answered? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THE DOOR IS OPEN THE CALL IS CLEAR JESUS IS SAYING, “COME HERE.” You don't have to have it figured out You don't have to clean yourself up WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? [Verse 2 — bouncy groove] “I've got questions.” Yeah, bring ’em. “I've got doubts.” Okay, bring those too. “I’m not holy.” Well, neither was Peter. “I’ve messed up.” Welcome to the human race, brother. You think the saints woke up one morning With perfect faith and halos glowing? They took one step Then another And found that God was already going [Pre-Chorus — bigger] You’re waiting to become somebody Before you give your life away But Jesus doesn't call the finished He calls you where you are today [Chorus — bigger, gang vocals] WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? A lightning bolt? A voice from heaven? A perfect little moment With every question answered? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THE DOOR IS OPEN THE CALL IS CLEAR JESUS IS SAYING, “COME HERE.” You don't have to have it figured out You don't have to clean yourself up WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? [Bridge — music drops, clean guitar and beat] [Spoken — conversational] Okay. Seriously. You keep saying: “I'm gonna get my life together first.” No. That's backwards. You don't fix your life and then come to Jesus. You come to Jesus... and let Him fix your life. [Beat drops] Stop waiting. Stop negotiating. Take the next step. [Build — drums rising] WHAT'S THE NEXT RIGHT THING? [Everything stops] [Quiet] Do it. [Final Chorus — explosive] WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THE DOOR IS OPEN THE GRAVE IS EMPTY MERCY'S AT THE DOOR WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Stop making excuses Stop counting the cost Stop telling yourself You’ve got time to put it off You don't have to have it figured out You don't have to clean yourself up You don't have to know how this ends WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? TAKE THE STEP SAY THE YES FOLLOW HIM [Outro — gang vocals] WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? [Spoken — amused] Seriously... Go. [Final drum crash]
