Lyrics

Verse 1:
You came to bring peace but we still feel the strife
At times it seems death is more certain than life
The night of your birth the sky burst with your light
But here we still wait for the end of the night
But here we still wait for the end of the night
Chorus 1:
Wonderful counselor
Counsel us now
Almighty God
Show us more of Your pow’r
Prince of peace
Come and mend what we’ve broken
Promise of ages
Perform all You’ve spoken
Emmanuel
How we need you now
Emmanuel
Again we wait for You
Emmanuel
Verse 2:
Those eyes that once saw your salvation arrive
Grow weary from sleep as they wait to revive
Those living in darkness once saw a great light
O Light of the Nations make everything right
O Light of the Nations make everything right
Chorus 2:
Wonderful counselor
Counsel us now
Almighty God
Show us more of Your pow’r
Prince of peace
Come and mend what we’ve broken
Promise of ages
Perform all You’ve spoken
Emmanuel
How we need you now
Emmanuel
Again we wait for You
Emmanuel
Bridge:
So we remember as we wait
This hope deferred will not prove vain
You came before
You’ll come again
You’ll come again
Chorus 3:
Wonderful counselor
Counsel us now
Almighty God
Show us more of Your pow’r
Prince of peace
Come and mend what we’ve broken
Promise of ages
Perform all You’ve spoken
Emmanuel
How we need you now
Emmanuel
Again we wait for You
Emmanuel
we wait for You
Emmanuel
