The Fullness of Time
Embracing Redemption: The Fullness of Time Unveiled
Lyrics
Through all the anxious ages
Reflecting on the anxious periods throughout history.
We had waited for the Son
Awaiting the arrival of the divine Son.
Who would bind up what's been broken
Expectation for a figure to mend what's been damaged.
Who would give us peace with God
Anticipating peace with God through the awaited figure.
We had waited for the One who's government shall never end
Waiting for a ruler whose governance is everlasting.
We had waited for the stump to sprout a holy, righteous branch
Hopeful for a sacred, virtuous offshoot from a seemingly lifeless source.
To turn our waiting into rest
Desiring the transformation of waiting into peaceful repose.
The promises of God, each one of them will find it's yes
Assurance that every promise of God will be fulfilled.
In the fullness of time, all the work shall be done
In the fullness of time, all tasks will be completed.
Emmanuel will come
Emmanuel, the promised one, will arrive.
Then on the day appointed
Referring to the designated day in the divine plan.
Came the Word of life and light
The arrival of the life-bringing and illuminating Word.
Veiled in flesh he dwelt among us
The divine presence dwelling in human form.
We have seen His glory shine
Witnessing the glorious manifestation of His essence.
For the virgin bore a Son and in a manger He was laid
Emphasizing the humble birth of the Son in a manger.
With the angels and the shepherds we will worship Him and say
Celebrating with angels and shepherds in worship.
He's turned our waiting in rest
Transformation of waiting into rest through His arrival.
The promises of God, each one of them has found it's yes
Confirmation that each promise of God has been fulfilled.
In the fullness of time came the light of the Son
In the fullness of time, the Son's light has dawned.
Emmanuel has come
Emmanuel has indeed come.
Now we hold on to the promise
Expressing confidence in God's promise fulfillment.
You'll complete what You began
Believing in the completion of God's initiated work.
Cradle, cross, & resurrection
Highlighting key events: birth, crucifixion, and resurrection.
Leads to kingdom without end
These events lead to an eternal kingdom.
We endure the heavy trial and we fix our eyes on You
Enduring trials while keeping focus on God.
You have come and You will come again, the promises are true
Acknowledging past and future comings of the divine.
You'll turn our waiting into rest
Belief that waiting will ultimately turn into rest.
The promises of God, each one of them will find it's yes
Reiteration that all promises of God will find fulfillment.
In the fullness of time You'll return for your bride
Anticipation of the Son's return for His followers.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel will come
Repeating the assurance that Emmanuel will come again.
