Lyrics Sample

Shepherd

I’m waiting, yes I’m waiting,

For the King to come to Earth.

I’m waiting, yes I’m waiting,

For a special royal birth.

All

He’s waiting, yes he’s waiting,

For the King to come to Earth.

He’s waiting, yes he’s waiting,

For a special royal birth.

Shepherd

I’ve waited now for many, many years,

My faith is true and strong.

I’ve watched and waited all this time,

Please God - I can’t be wrong...
