We Wait for You
Genesis 3, Isaiah 6:11-13, 11:1-5, 9:1-7, Malachi 4:2
CCLI # 7159406
Verse 1
A broken mirror, painted black
There is no light reflected back
Thorns grow up where there was green
All sorrow, shame and broken things
Paradise has barred its doors
Its guarded by the flaming swords
We can’t go back, we can’t go back
Chorus
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait
Verse 2
A forest cut down by the axe
Like the end of the story, when it’s all turned to ash
But up from the stump, the bud of a flower
A seed of hope in the eleventh hour
And from the shadow the sun will rise
The people in darkness will see a great light
We’re longing, praying for the dawn
Chorus
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait
Verse 3:
He takes the thorns upon His head
His body pierced, His arms outstretched
Says “It is finished,” and the sun went down
We laid His body in the ground
But life oh life comes bursting forth
And paradise swings wide its doors
Our King will rise to take His throne
And He will return to lead us home
To dry every tear and right every wrong
How long, O Lord? How long? How long?
Chorus 2:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
For You

Hallelujah, Christ is Born
Luke 2:1-20, Matthew 2:1-12
CCLI # 7159410

In a tiny town, in the dark of night
From a run-down stable, came a baby’s cry
He was wrapped in rags and his parents were poor
But the baby in the manger was Christ the Lord
Verse 2
Ragged shepherds were watching their sheep that night
When the angel chorus filled the sky with light
“Good news, great joy to this broken land
For the baby in the manger is Christ the Lamb”
Chorus
Hallelujah, Christ is born! Hallelujah, the Savior of the world
This is the one we’ve waited for!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Verse 3
See the wise men journey from those countries far
Over deserts and mountains, followin’ that star
And they gave him their gifts and bowed on their knees
For the baby in the manger was Christ the King
Chorus 2x
Verse 4
Come and bow in wonder and prepare him room
Come and sing with joy over God’s good news
Go tell it on the mountain and in countries far
That the baby in the manger is the King of our hearts

Like a living stream

Will break the bow and sword

Into plowshares for the harvest
How we’re longing for it now

There will be a day

Like the waters fill the sea

We’ll walk in His ways
We’ll look on His face
We’ll go to the mountain of God

And walk in His light
