Description
This is an original song with lyrics taken from three different Bible verses. (Matt. 13:17, Luke 2:25-32, and Heb. 11:13)It is written from the perspective of Simeon who held the new-born Christ in the temple and recognized that Jesus was the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. (Luke 2:25-32)
Lyrics
Welcome Welcome They welcomed once distant promises desired by strangers and exiles with longing eyes, with longing eyes. Salvation for all men. They could not see or hear the glory of Your people. Behold, the Light of Revelation to the world. Welcome, welcome, for my eyes have seen Your face. I now possess what those who died in faith could not and I receive. I welcome once distant promises. Welcome, Glory, Welcome, Glory, Welcome.
