Georgia worship leader John Waller seems to have perfected the art of individualizing scripture on While I'm Waiting. Standout tracks include "Dead Man," with its crunchy guitar licks, and "Our God Reigns Here," an anthem that does not back down in its proclamations of divine sovereignty. But even with an ample amount of upbeat fare, the album will always be remembered for its most pensive moment, the poignant and reserved title track whose pivotal importance to the hit 2008 film Fireproof secured a place in Christian film history. ~ Jared Johnson
