We Watch, We Wait

The ancient world
 The age of scrolls
 The branch of David in the wind
 How many lifetimes must unfold
 Before the promised one steps in
 How many deserts?
 How many kings?
 How many more burnt offerings?
 Emmanuel
 I breathe your name
 We watch, we wait
 We Watch
 We wait
 We ask
 We ache
 God with us
 Someday
 We watch
 We wait
 The dead of night
 A swollen womb
 Heaven held inside my hands
 How could there be no other room
 Than for a bed of straw and sand?
 And lo the blood
 And oh the cries
 And still my soul doth magnify
 Emmanuel
 I breathe your name
 We watch, we wait
 We Watch
 We wait
 We ask
 We ache
 God with us
 Someday
 We watch
 We wait
 A longing heart
 A world on fire
 We want to see your face again
 No man can know
 The day, the hour
 The many miles from Bethlehem
 But every knee will bow and bend
 And every tongue confess again
 Emmanuel
 We breathe your name
 We watch, we wait
 We watch
 We wait
 We ask
 We ache
 God with us
 One day
 We watch
 We wait
 We Watch
 We wait
 We ask
 We ache
 God with us
 This day
 We watch
 We wait
