about

This latest version of "Expectation" includes lush piano accompaniment and a beautiful new cello line to match the depth of feeling found in the lyrics and vocals.

lyrics

In the darkness of the night we wait in expectation; for the coming of our Savior, who was born to save us. We the mothers, we the fathers, we the hopeful children, we the broken vessels weary, we of anxious heart:

Look to the eastern sky, there the star bright, pray for the living Word, Christ-child hope-filled light.

We the ones who come to praise you, here on bended knee; we the children of the ages, help us Lord to see; born from earth, return to dust this life is ever-fleeting; in the cold before the dawn oh help us too remember:

Look to the eastern sky, there the star bright, pray for the living Word, Christ-child hope-filled light.

Living hope of all the nations we await your coming. Breathing water of salvation we await your coming. Promised feast for all the hungry we await your coming. Holy Spirit in endless mercy we await your coming.

Look to the eastern sky, there the star bright, pray for the living Word, Christ-child hope-filled light. Look to the eastern sky, there the star bright, pray for the living Word, Christ child hope-filled light.

In the darkness of the night we wait in expectation.
In the darkness of the night we wait in expectation.
In the darkness of the night we wait in expectation.
