"Wait For Me" and "Song of Love" were two singles from Christian pop rock musician Rebecca St. James.[1] "Wait For Me" is perhaps one of St. James' most famous songs, encouraging sexual abstinence until marriage, from the 2000 album Transform (#166 in the Billboard Top 200 albums briefly.[2]). "Song of Love" is a track from her 2002 modern worship album Worship God (in the Billboard Top 200 albums for 11 weeks, peaking at #94[2]).
In keeping with her advocacy of premarital abstinence, "Wait For Me" became the title of St. James' 2000 concert tour of 46 cities, and also became the lead title of her 2002 book, Wait for Me: Rediscovering the Joy of Purity in Romance,[3] and her 2003 compilation album, Wait For Me: The Best From Rebecca St. James, on which the title song appeared with "Song of Love".[4] The album was released in March,[4] the single in June. At the five-year anniversary of the release of the song, St. James stated, "'Wait for Me' has become one of my signature songs now."[5]
Music videos were released for both songs, "Song of Love"'s in 2002.[6][7] In the "Wait for Me" video, St. James takes a car trip to meet the man she dreams of, and sings about, meeting. In "Song of Love", she sings mainly in a concert setting.
