Lyrics:
Verse 1
You made us sinless, reflecting Your image
All that we needed You gave us in Eden
We went astray, death was the wage we earned
Verse 2
Under the law You had given to bless us
We were enslaved and increasingly restless
When will You come? Lord, how we ache for You
Chorus 1
Send from heaven our Messiah
Lord, hear our prayer and come for us
Verse 3
Born of a virgin You came in our likeness
Loving the sinner in mercy and kindness
Dying our death, giving us life again
Verse 4
Now You have made us Your sons and Your daughters
Knowing Your goodness we call You our Father
All that we need, given in Jesus
Chorus 2
Sent from heaven, our Messiah
You heard our prayer and came for us
Bridge
By Your Spirit we cry out
Abba Father, hear us now
Chorus 3
Come from heaven, our Messiah
Lord hear our prayer and come for us
