Simeon's Song
While I wait for the expectant hope fulfilled
Deep yearning filling me with despair
Will the time ever come
The Word perfected.
As I wonder He comes again
The haunting voice of Him
Whose promises remain yet before
Unreached untouched and me undone.
Infallible through the voice to me
Penetrates viscera
With prospect
Of Him.
Beyond hope
Fulfilling every desire
Assurance that the day has come
When all the world obtains the matchless gift.
Were gifts solely joy sans sorrow or grief
But with journey’s cost undeniably
The Savior’s blood
The price
Freedom’s cost indeed.
He comes, He lives, I rejoice and take my leave.
Immanuel!
Deep yearning filling me with despair
Will the time ever come
The Word perfected.
As I wonder He comes again
The haunting voice of Him
Whose promises remain yet before
Unreached untouched and me undone.
Infallible through the voice to me
Penetrates viscera
With prospect
Of Him.
Beyond hope
Fulfilling every desire
Assurance that the day has come
When all the world obtains the matchless gift.
Were gifts solely joy sans sorrow or grief
But with journey’s cost undeniably
The Savior’s blood
The price
Freedom’s cost indeed.
He comes, He lives, I rejoice and take my leave.
Immanuel!
