Oh Righteous Branch

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Oh righteous branch from Jesse’s root
Please come and bring your kingdom
The lion dwelling with the lamb
Bring peace and life and freedom

Verse 2:
Oh Son of David come to rule
And reign in us forever
Come write your law upon our hearts
And keep us like a shepherd

Refrain:
Hallelujah, Jesus we wait for you
Hallelujah, Jesus come soon come soon

Verse 3:
Messiah come, your Spirit give
Turn stony hearts to flesh
Redeem us from captivity
The power of sin and death

Refrain:
Hallelujah, Jesus we wait for you
Hallelujah, Jesus come soon, come soon
Jesus, come soon, come soon

Verse 4:
At last, at last the morning comes
With healing in its wings
We’ll leap like calves loosed from their stalls
For you have done great things
Yes, you have done great things!

Refrain 2x:
Hallelujah, Jesus we wait for you
Hallelujah, Jesus come soon come soon!

Tag:
Jesus, come soon, come soon

We Wait for You

Lyrics

Verse 1:
A broken mirror, painted black
There is no light reflected back
Thorns grow up where there was green
All sorrow, shame and broken things

Paradise has barred its doors
Its guarded by the flaming swords
We can’t go back, we can’t go back

Chorus:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait

Verse 2:
A forest cut down by the axe
Like the end of the story
When it’s all turned to ash
But up from the stump, the bud of a flower
A seed of hope in the eleventh hour

And from the shadow the sun will rise
The people in darkness will see a great light We’re longing, praying for the dawn

Chorus:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait

Verse 3:
He takes the thorns upon His head
His body pierced, His arms outstretched
Says “It is finished,” and the sun went down
We laid His body in the ground

But life oh life comes bursting forth
And paradise swings wide its doors
Our King will rise to take His throne
And He will return to lead us home
To dry every tear and right every wrong
How long, O Lord? How long? How long?

Chorus 2:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
For You
