Eden's rest is lost and forgotten Kings and kingdoms have come and gone Shadows lengthened, hearts now hardened Longing for the Morning Star Every generation's been groaning Darkness filling an earth left undone How long 'til our God will save us Oh, in the shadows, wait for the Sun ♪ Heaven's army bursts on the night sky Announcing peace, God's rest to bring Shepherds, wisemen, all who will come, find In Bethlehem is born the King Unto us God's Son is given Here in us Christ Jesus now dwells He the promised One will save us Oh, in the shadows, Emmanuel ♪ See Him now, our Savior dying Pierced for our sins by His own design This darkest shadow now supplying Life and light to all mankind Risen now, the Light is shining Filling earth with His love and truth 'Til the day He comes back for us And all creation will be made new All our sin now long forgotten God's great love forever we'll sing Until then we'll live victorious For in these shadows we rest in Him You can rest in the shadows There is hope in the shadows There's good news in the shadows Find His rest in the shadows
