about

Luke 1:57-80

lyrics

Shame, shame hangs on me like a weight
How I wish I would have obeyed
Now I am silent as the grave

For now I sit in darkness
I feel the shadow of death
I await God’s tender mercy
When my son shall be born

But I know he is on the horizon
Waiting to breathe for the first time
He is so close to arriving
Though there’s pain in the birth, there’s joy in the life
Oh God, break the silence

John, you are the boy that I didn’t believe in
You are the son that I couldn’t conceive of
You are my child who has come
For days, days I was waiting to speak
Days quickly turned into weeks
But God had a promise to keep

That’s why I sat in darkness
I felt the shadow of death
But God showed His tender mercy
When you, my son, arrived
He gave me my voice again

Blessed, blessed be the Lord of Israel
For he promised Abraham, as well
As our fathers and prophets did tell
Oh, they did tell

'Cause they knew it was on the horizon
Waiting to shine for the first time
Though it was so far from arriving
They remembered in faith the promise God gave
Of the One who will save, and the covenant He made
They remembered and obeyed
They obeyed

My child, you are the joy of my life
What I wouldn’t give to stop time now
But I know that you are not mine
So when the Lord calls you out to proclaim
The name of the One who will save
I pray that you will obey

So that those who sit in darkness
Those in the shadow of death
Might see God’s tender mercy
When His Son shall rise
And He sends His light
Then we’ll have life again

And I know He is on the horizon
Waiting to breathe for the first time
Our long-expected Messiah
He’s coming to fix all that’s broken and dying
And He is so close to arriving
Oh God, break the silence
Oh God, break the silence
Oh God, break the silence
