....All the World Was Waiting....

All the world was waiting for the birth of the Promised One…

The Prophets of old long foretold that one day He would come.

Then an angel came to Mary and shared a miraculous story

Of the birth of a Son, God’s chosen one and the coming of His glory.

All the world was waiting in the darkness of that night

As angels sang, the bells they rang, flooded with brilliant lights.

For in that stable lowly, no place to lay His head,

They took a feeding manger to make his kingly bed…

While all the world was waiting.

All the world was waiting as shepherds hurried to the place

To gaze upon the Christ-Child...the Savior of the human race.

This tiny babe, the Son of God, now come to earth to dwell

God has come in human form…our Lord Emanuel.

He’d come to earth in a cattle stall birth, so hard to understand

How God’s great love, sent from above, is part of His wondrous plan.

So the question for you and I as we ask the reason why

The Son of God would come to earth just so He could die.

Yes, the reason is quite clear to see…

It’s because of His love for you and me.

So lay aside your questioning and stop your contemplating…

Accept His love this Christmas season,

While all the world is waiting.
