¶Lyrics / Text

1. We wait for Christ, our Advent Light, a brightness like the sun: we find a rabbi with a lamp and ask, "Is this the One?" 2. We wait for Christ, the Lord of hosts, a thousand battles won; we find a stubborn man of peace and ask, "Is this the One?" 3. We wait for Christ, our Advocate, for justice swiftly done; we find a friend of the oppressed and ask, "Is this the One?" 4. We wait for Christ, the King of Kings, a nation's favoured son; we find instead a servant-sage and ask, "Is this the One?" 5. And so he comes, again he comes, and faith is yet begun as open hearts are drawn to Christ, the Unexpected One.
