We Waited in Silence

We waited in silence
For the Singer to arrive
With a song of compassion
Awakening us back to life

We wandered in darkness
Awaiting heaven's light
With a dream of the day
When Your glory would finally shine

Oh Lord
Welcome to our troubled times
Emmanuel
When You step into our lives

The chains of injustice are broken
The prisoner set free
The eyes of the blind are opened
And there's no more suffering

Hope for the lost and lonely
The powerless and weak
The marginalized are welcomed
At the table of the King

The fatherless find a family
The sinner has been redeemed
The prodigal finds belonging
In unfailing arms of mercy
Your unfailing arms of mercy

We waited in silence
For the Singer to arrive
With a song of compassion
Awakening us back to life
