All the world was waiting for the promised One.
Prophets through the ages claimed that He would come.
Would He be a warrior, or a conquering king?
Could he be the one who’d save us from our sin and suffering?
All the world was waiting the night that you were born.
God of life eternal, in a fragile form.
Shepherds gathered closer, gazing at your face;
Wondering how this helpless child could save a fallen human race.
All the world was waiting as you became a man.
Truth was in your teaching, healing in your hand.
Though your heart was sinless, you laid down your life;
To pay the dept that only perfect love could satisfy.
Now the world is waiting for another day,
When your Sovereign hand will turn the final page,
And all will be accomplished; Our trials and tears will end;
And those who’ve longed to see you will never wait again.
–Bob Kauflin (here it performed here)
