Story Behind The Song
At the age of 14 I was asked to be the Singing Evangelist for an Evangelistic Series and I was called back many times throughout the years to minister. I experienced seeing the struggle of individuals making up their minds, surrendering their will so that Christ can be their personal Savior. Out of those experiences is how What Are You Waiting For? was born.

Lyrics
What Are You Waiting For
1st Verse:
Jesus died on Calvary for your sins and mine
Before you knew your name or proclaimed Him Jesus Christ
He promises life eternal
Just accept and believe
Salvation is yours if you would receive
Chorus:
(I ask you) What are you waiting for? I ask you what are you waiting for?
He is the open door.
I ask you why are you waiting and what are you waiting for?
2nd Verse:
You have heard a moving sermon, a convincing appeal
But your stubborn mind is complying to the turn of your heal.
Your heart is burning.
As you walk out the door.
To resume the unhappy life
You've been living before
Bridge:
But I say wait! Try Jesus.
You have tried everything else
He is waiting at your heart's door as once before
Don't delay come into this rest and stay
Make up your mind
Do it today, today!
Chorus:
(I ask you) What are you waiting for? I ask you what are you waiting for?
He is the open door.
I ask you why are you waiting and what are you waiting for?
