A Song for the Singles

During CNY, I was sms-ing with a fellow bro in Christ on relationships.

Not for the first time, both of us shared our struggles of being a single guy at this age, at these times. As each year passes by, the pressure of “finding” a girlfriend, directly, or indirectly, is getting more and more intense, not just from our friends but from our family members too.

In this day and age it is common for people, both young and old alike, to jump into relationships without thinking twice. By doing so, these people break their own hearts as quick as they made them in the first place. To me, getting into relationships now seems to be more of a trend than a treasure, something which is worth waiting for your whole life for.

Back to the conversation my bro and I had, as we promised to continue to encourage and pray for one another, and among all, we promised to wait upon God for the One He has divinely appointed for us.

As this bro proceeded in saying:

“Then, we can really testify the goodness of God to the young people that true love waits.”

True love waits.

Hmm.

This is a term which I have not heard for quite a while. Many define this term as sex is worth waiting until marriage. For me, this can mean that true love – the love of your life – is worth waiting for too.

Hence, this song is born.

This song is written from the perspective of a single, young guy (like me), on the real struggles that we face being single. Where we are in a position which the pressure around and within us to get attached is simply overwhelming. But yet we refuse to submit to all these as we cling onto our God, who is the hope of our salvation, the Author and Finisher of our Faith, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Father Almighty who knows the desires of our hearts.

As we live a life that is totally consumed in making worshipping Him a lifestyle, He is faithful, and He is good. He will never disappoint us. For nothing in Him comes too early, nothing in Him comes too late.

That in the end of the day, what really matters the most, is

True.Love.Waits.

*Please kindly take note that I am not a professional songwriter by any means (though I’ve penned a couple of songs). I too don’t dare say that I am perfect, one who knows everything, I am just a sinner saved by grace, and the whole purpose of this is to bless singles out there.

True Love Waits.
Here I stand
Lost in the midst of the crowd
Looking for
For the One to be found

Days pass by
All the choices that I've made
All just seem
Nothing but mistakes

All I see
People walking around
Hand in hand
So loving and proud

What about me
Am I not a good man?
I can't take this any longer
So, how?

Pre-Chorus:
Jealousy
Temptation
Come so often
Day by day

Am I wrong?
What is right?
Is it worth it?
I'm so afraid..

Chorus:
But wait
Do not fear but have faith
Just wait
Be strong and pray.

Lord, hey!
Here's my heart I commit,
To the One You have for me
For good will come to those

Who wait
I know she is coming
And as I wait
I'll become a better me,

Until that day,
As I see her face to face
I can say I've finally found you
Because I told God that I will wait

And I can say God is faithful
Indeed I can say that
True love waits

In the end of the day,
What matters most is True Love Waits.
