Offertory: “The Yearning” -Craig Courtney
There is a yearning in hearts weighed down by ancient grief and centuries of sorrow.
There is a yearning in hearts that in the darkness hide, and in the shades of death abide,
A yearning for tomorrow.
There is a yearning for the promised One, the Firstborn of creation.
There is a yearning for the Lord who visited His own, and by His death for sin atoned,
To bring to us salvation.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel within our hearts the yearning.
There is a yearning that fills the hearts of those who wait the day of His appearing.
There is a yearning when all our sorrows are erased and we shall see the One who placed
Within our hearts the yearning.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel within our hearts the yearning.
