We've been waiting
Like a woman who's with child
For your arrival
All creation
Has been groaning for a sign
A growing hope inside
When the fullness of the time had come
God sent forth His only Son
Born of the virgin's womb
Through Him came grace and truth
How merciful, how marvelous
Heaven's king would take on flesh
How wonderful, miraculous
God on high would dwell with us
We've been wand'ring
Through the desert all our lives
Longing for Messiah
Anticipating
A Kingdom from on high
Whose reign will never die
Incarnation
Breaking through our silent night
A tiny infant's cry
No more waiting
Our deliverance draws nigh
In the fullness of the time
