From the day it was born all Creation was yearning 
For the day you'd be born and your day of returning 
And the prophets foretold of your coming in glory
And your coming in clothed as a man and one lowly

Christ in whom we all live 
Your life has been, to the dust, breath

We're watching and waiting 
Oh Lord please come and come soon 
We seek you, and need you
Our hope is only in you, Christ

So you came as a babe, bringing light to the darkness 
With a manger for cradle, they made room as the star rose
Yet by men you were scorned while our sin lay upon you
As the temple veil torn, making room for us in you

In your light all of our dark flees 
And your life laid down is our peace

We're watching and waiting 
Oh Lord please come and come soon 
We seek you, we need you
Our hope is only in you, Christ

Any day you’ll return to retrieve all your chosen
For that day we all yearn, knowing we will be known then 
Yet you wait while we fail, fall and tumble toward You
Knowing full and full well who will then become like you

Christ, judge of humans
You want all to come in

You're watching and waiting 
You hold us knowing our end
Your wisdom and patience
We trust in, yet come and come soon, Christ
