Caroline Cobb - We Wait for You lyrics

Artist: Caroline Cobb

album: A Seed, A Sunrise: Advent to Christmas Songs


A broken mirror, painted black
There is no light reflected back
Thorns grow up where there was green
All sorrow, shame and broken things
Paradise has barred its doors
It's guarded by the flaming swords
We can't go back, we can't go back
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait
A forest cut down by the axe
Like the end of the story
When it's all turned to ash
But up from the stump, the bud of a flower
A seed of hope in the eleventh hour
And from the shadow the sun will rise (oh-oh-oh)
The people in darkness will see a great light (oh-oh-oh)
We're longing, praying for the dawn (oh-oh-oh)
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait
He takes the thorns upon His head
His body pierced, His arms outstretched
Says "It is finished", and the sun went down
And we laid His body in the ground
But life oh life comes bursting forth (oh-o-ooh, o-ooh)
And paradise swings wide its doors (oh-o-ooh, o-ooh)
Our King will rise to take His throne (oh-o-ooh, o-ooh)
And He will return to lead us home (oh-o-ooh, o-ooh)
To dry every tear and right every wrong (oh-o-ooh)
How long, O Lord? How long? How long? (oh-o-ooh, oh)
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
For You
