[HOOK / ANTIPHON] “Light breaks in — we’re watching for You. Hope wakes in — we’re waiting for You.” [Verse 1 – “Keep Awake”] Yo — dawn’s at the edge but the night still clings, Prophets said listen for the beat of angel wings. Streetlights flicker, but the true Light’s comin’, Whisper in the dark says “prepare — I’m among ’em.” We wait with the weary, stand guard with the broken, Hold fast to the promise in the Word God has spoken. So lift up your eyes, let your heartbeat drum it: The Lord is not late — He’s just teaching us to hunger. [ HOOK/ANTIPHON] [Verse 2 – “The Root and the Shoot”] Out of dry ground, yeah, a green shoot rises, Hope breaks rules, never asks your sizes. God shows up in the smallest places, In empty hands, in forgotten faces. He flips the script — that’s His holy plan: Majesty wrapped in a child’s soft hand. So ready your hearts, clear a way inside — The King who comes humble brings a kingdom wide. [HOOK/ANTIPHON] [Verse 3 – “Make Room” (optional for Communion/Procession)] No palace gold, just a manger’s glow — Love hits the world where the cold winds blow. Christ with the outcast, Christ with the poor, Christ at the edge of every closed door. Make room in your rhythm, your breath, your pace, Make room in your city, your life, your space. He comes as a question, a whisper, a flame — But leaves as a fire when you call His Name. [HOOK/ANTIPHON] [Bridge (call and response)] When the night feels long (Light breaks in) When our hope feels thin (Hope wakes in) When the world needs peace (Christ, come in) When the poor cry out (We welcome Him) [repeat bridge and double Hook]
