Joseph Solomon - Worth the wait live version with subtitles

(Music) Eve you are worth the wait Adam laid and waited while God sedated him and created Eve from his rib cage, she was named a woman not because she was a woe to man but because she's woven from man Imagine Eve, so beautiful the first time that adam seen he spit poetry: "This is at last bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh", see Adam realized something profound, she is not just mine, she is me A beautiful and suitable counterpart to do her part and I like to believe that Eve was made from the rib cage to protect the heart, see Eve you are worth the wait Like Abraham, should avoid it for Sarah, I should avoid it for you Instead of hagging with those hagars I'm done trying to rush God and being tempted to twist His promisses with quick fixes with mistresses, I'm done I'll wait But don't mistake this patience for passiveness, see Too many of us do, just sitting in our rooms, thinking to ourselves: "I wonder if she likes me" "I don't know... Maybe I'll talk to her, maybe I won't" "I like affection, I just don't like rejection" Yo man, be man But so is what we do I'm just saying I'll be purposely patient like Jacob waited for Rachel because I'm trying to marry you, not just date you I'm looking past the present, I'm looking far to take it farther I wanna marry his daughter Like Jacob told Rachel's father He was willing to wait seven years times two yo fourteen years is a long time to do but Rachel, you are worth the wait. Or maybe I should compare you to Ruth See, Ruth and Boaz is not just some scenar' of a love story but a glimpse into Christ redemption, Through Him we are born again like Boaz married Ruth so they could bear children, see I want us to build a legacy through your pregnancy you are the pathway to a multigenerational destiny, that's crazy, right? That is not just our children that you'll bring life, but our children's children, and their children and their children's children so Ruth that makes you worth the wait, like King Solomon waited 'till after thirty installments of proverbs to get to the last chapter and I avoided almost thirty chapters of my life to get to proverbs thirty one in the tenth verse: "Who can find a virtuous woman who's worth this far beyond rubies who will do me good and not evil all the days of my life" and I will do the same for you because proverbs thirty-one woman you are worth the wait and I will never want to defoul you So we'll wait to make love until we both stay in front of that preacher and say I do And until there I continue to say I do, I do still wanna wait for you because, you are worth more than any weight of priceless gems you are worth more than any weight of priceless gems your body is a temple so it's through that temple, I will worship Him and until then we won't give in to sex because I want our honeymoon to be more than just finding good deals on hotel prices and plane tickets on the internet see it's much more than that It is the beggining of a beautiful display of the gospel a story of love, and pain, and setbacks, and grace, some pride, but a whole lot of forgiveness Cold shoulders and hot tempers, imperfection but redemption for two sinners just trying to resemble the gospel and through it all, the good and the drama, I still want you to be my wife, my best friend, my prayer partner and my "baby mama" because you are worth the wait But more than you being worth the wait more than you being worth the wait Christ is worth our submission... Christ is worth our submission He submitted Himself to the will of His father to be beaten for the enmity started in the garden of Eden The fruit that was eaten from a tree and the World waited centuries for that sins to be put back on a tree Christ was worth the wait since Genesis three And He, thought you, were the worth the weight of your sins, on His body your thorns on His head, your worth is found in the blood that He bled He gave His body on the cross, so you don't have to give up your body in the bed until we're wedded girl I'm waiting I'm waiting Girl, we ain't getting in undercovers Until we are under covenant See, it's only in a covenant that we can enter in this intimate communion it's only in a covenant That we can take communion And my body, be given to you My love, poured out for you And we do this, in rememberance of the day we gave up our independence when two became one, ironically a couple becomes a single, a profound mistery, a mathematical paradox worth waiting to see you are worth the wait And even when we're married, you'll still be worth the wait like when I be at the doors with keys in my hands ready to go and you're still in the room putting make up on your face and then you rush out the room and say: "I'm sorry I made us late", and I'll look at you and say: "No it's cool, you were worth the wait" My, help me to... please help me to continue to see that you will always, always be worth the wait (music) (music and clapping)
