"Wait and See" is a song by Christian contemporary-alternative rock musician Brandon Heath from his second studio album, What If We. It was released sometime in early 2009, as the second single from the album.
Background
[edit]This song was produced by Dan Muckala.[citation needed]
Brandon Heath told Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday that the background for the song is the following:[1]
"Wait and See" is probably the most autobiographical song I've ever written. But I think that anybody can relate to this song, and be encouraged to know that God has a plan for us, even if we still feel like a failure at times. If we come to know Jesus as our Savior, He is going to change our hearts and lead us into a greater existence other than for ourselves. For me, the last verse of "Wait and See" is really what my journey is all about, "now's my time to be a man, follow my heart as far as I can, no telling where I'm ending up tonight." Most nights, I am in a hotel room and I barely know where I am, but I know that I'm doing what I am supposed to be doing. I just have to wait and see what God is going to do with the rest of the story. I'm encouraged by what He has done already, but I know that the story will continue to unfold and I'll keep learning more about the purpose of my life.
— Brandon Heath, New Release Tuesday's Kevin Davis
