Awaited One

From the ancient of days, You had a plan
Long before sin encumbered the land
Patterns of grace ran wild through time
The answer of hope, in Your brilliant mind

The prophecies spoke of a Ruler to come
The faithful would long for His Kingdom
Your purpose revealed, the Awaited One
The virgin would yield Your only Son

So we-e-elcome
Je-e-esus
And we-e-elcome
Good tidings of comfort and joy
Good tidings of peace and of love
O Emmanuel, the Awaited One

In a moment of time, everything changed
From Your innocent eyes to the blood in Your veins
Humbly You came, so humble and brave
In the breath of Your life, humanity saved
The promise of God, revealed in Your name
Your name, Your holy name

Oh we-e-elcome
Je-e-esus
Oh we-e-elcome
Good tidings of comfort and joy (Good tidings of comfort and joy)
Good tidings of peace and of love (Good tidings of peace and of love)
Oh we-e-elcome (Welcome Lord Jesus)
Je-e-esus
We-e-elcome

Good tidings of comfort and joy (Good tidings of comfort and joy)
Good tidings of peace and of love (Good tidings of peace and of love)
Good tidings of comfort and joy (Good tidings of comfort and joy)
Good tidings of peace and of love (Good tidings of peace and of love)
O Emmanuel, the Awaited One
