We Wait, With Hope, For Jesus
By Robin Ulbredtch
We wait with hope for Jesus.
He’s our heavenly King.
He travels each day within us,
and provides for all our needs.
We wait with hope for Jesus
and to see our heavenly home,
where tears and pain will fade away–
and we’ll never be left alone.
We wait with hope for Jesus.
He’s coming someday soon
to take away the wickedness
and make us all brand new.
We wait with hope for Jesus.
He’s our faithful brother.
He gives us strength for each new day–
and helps us love each other.
We wait with hope for Jesus.
He sent the Holy Spirit.
He leads the way through each troubled day–
and helps us not to fear it.
We wait with hope for Jesus.
He’s our great Shepherd.
He leads the flock, finds the lost,
and keeps us all together.
We wait with hope for Jesus
He has such healing power–
He binds our wounds, heals our hearts,
and restores our lives forever.
We wait with hope for Jesus.
He’s our blessed King.
He paid the price to buy our life,
and gave His everything.
We wait with hope for Jesus.
For no where can we find–
the kind of love and tenderness
He gives to humankind.
We wait with hope for Jesus
who, in splendor, rides.
He comes with might and majesty
to rescue us, His bride.
