Awaiting The Messiah
Once a Baby and its momma in a stall in Bethlehem
Were surrounded by some cattle and some sheep that watched with them
As the angels up in glory made a star that shown on them
That sweet Baby and its momma in that stall in Bethlehem
Then the angels told the shepherd in the fields not far away
That a Baby with its momma was asleep upon the hay
The Messiah come to save them as they'd heard the scriptures say
Was awaiting their arrival for their homage there to pay
Then the shepherds ran to greet them with such joy one cannot know
That has not for years awaited for God's glory there to show
On His people as He promised full expecting they would see
A great multitude to greet Him this sweet Lamb from Galilee
But amazed with disappointment there was none but them that day
Who had come to see this Baby that would take their sins away
Only cattle there a lowing and some sheep that watched this Lamb
Who had come to them from glory Jesus Christ the great I Am
But their sadness for their people and their ignorance of this
Was soon cast away like darkness in the bright sunshine of bliss
As they saw and bowed with gladness before Him their eyes could see
Was the Son of God eternal come in flesh for you and me
Then the shepherds left rejoicing that the privilege was theirs
To behold this Child of heaven Who was answer to their prayers
And to know that their salvation was assured for them that day
For that Baby was Messiah Who would take their sins away
But my friends as those blessed shepherds were awake to see the signs
Are we too as chosen people seeking Him with open minds
Reading daily from the Bible how He took our sins away
When He died and rose our Saviour for our pardon once to pay
And are we in faith awaiting His arrival once again
When He comes this time in glory to destroy this world of sin
And receive His chosen people who are waiting His return
With a heart that's filled with longing for the Home for which they yearn
Where we'll live and reign forever with the Lamb of Galilee
Who came once a precious Baby that the world was want to see
But will be our King forever in this earth made new again
Where alone His scars will tell us of the Price He paid for sin
Luke 2:1-20; Psalm 24:7-10
