The Waiting

Challenger of the oppressors
Forgiver of all the debtors
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting for you

Brother to every betrayer
Born to the world as a stranger
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting for you

Born this day
The king that we've longed to crown
Born this day
Emmanuel with us now

The earth so dark
The Star so bright
The heavenly roar
The silent night
Holy Child, we've been waiting for you
Holy Child, we've been waiting for you

Healer to all of the broken
Protector for all of the hurting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting for you

Shepherd to all of the ones lost
Grace for the stray and the have-nots
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting
We've been waiting for you

Born this day
The king that we've longed to crown
Born this day
Emmanuel with us now

The earth so dark
The Star so bright
The heavenly roar
The silent night
Holy Child, we've been waiting for you
Holy Child, we've been waiting for you

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
