I close my eyes and I still see the brightness
A blaze of light saying I have been chosen for you
How could this be true
I lay my hands on the home of my Savior
Knowing peace for the restless is resting in me
My son and my king
And as my world is changing
The whole world is waiting for you
To move on behalf of the humble
To fill up the hungry with hope
To lift up the lowly and reach out in mercy with your Almighty arm
What a day that will be
You'll be carrying me
When you come
Soon enough you'll defend the defenseless
But for now I am somehow the shelter you need
As my Emmanuel sleeps
And as my world is changing
The whole world is waiting for you
To move on behalf of the humble
To fill up the hungry with hope
To lift up the lowly and reach out in mercy with your Almighty arm
What a day that will be
You'll be carrying me
When you come
Oh what mercy and grace generations will see
By the hand of the next generation in me
Your covenant made, your promise you keep
To every heart that says yes, and everyone who believes
You move on behalf of the humble
You fill up the hungry with hope
You lift up the lowly and reach out in mercy with your Almighty arm
What a day that will be
You'll be carrying me
When you come
