He knew some of my other songs, but not that one. I actually ended up asking him once, I said, 'Did you know the lyrics of that song when we first met?' And he didn't. For the first time meeting a guy, there was something very, very special right from that first glance. Because there's a part in 'Wait for me' that says, 'Waiting for the look in your eyes when we meet for the first time,' and that was there when I met him. And singing the whole song, it was just – I was fighting emotion the whole time I was singing those words. And I started crying as I'm intro-ing it. But as I was setting up the songs, talking about the fact that I'd written the song for my future husband and never knew for ten years of my life who that was going to be and now I do, the audience just responded with such warmth and love. My fiancé Jacob's grandparents were actually there for that show in Colorado, so I think it added something to it having part of his family there. 'The first time I sang it after I got engaged it was incredibly emotional for me.

'It's an entirely different experience singing that song now,' she said. James shortly after the engagement, she told the story. In early 2011, she got her guy when her Californian boyfriend Jacob Fink asked her to marry him. James is about abstaining from sex until marriage, and about the belief that the right person to marry is out there somewhere. This song by the Christian singer Rebecca St.
