we’ve been waiting.

by Rachel Marie Martin

This is my Grace.

She loves Jesus with all of her heart.

On Sunday, she danced for Him.

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God

You’ve been promised, we’ve been waiting

Welcome Holy Child.
Welcome Holy Child.

That’s the stuff that matters.
Not the presents.

Just Jesus.
Only Jesus.

{lyrics quoted are from Welcome to Our World by Chris Rice}
