For a long time the church has set aside the four weeks leading up to Christmas as a time to get ready for Jesus, our Savior, to come.
In this song, we ask Jesus to come into our hearts and our world that are dark with sin, and light them up with his love, joy, hope, life, and healing.
This is what we are doing for all of Advent.
Lyrics
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You
O Lord of life, our only hope
Your radiance shines
On all who look to You in the dark
Emmanuel come, come light our hearts
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You
Oh Joy above, all other loves
In You we find, more than enough
We come as we are, O heal and restore
Come light our hearts
Oh Joy above, all other loves
In You we find, more than enough
We come as we are, O heal and restore
Come light our hearts
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You
