Winter’s Coming Home

Morning Softly Awakens

1. Morning softly awakens
all our deepest longings to be reborn.
When in a certain still moment,
gifting us his presence, Jesus is born.
Into the desert of our lives,
bringing truth and freedom,
God becomes man.

2. You are the chosen of Yahweh

and we find such gladness in knowing you.
Into the desert of our lives,
bringing truth and freedom,
God becomes man.

3. Sing now a new song to Yahweh;

let the trumpets welcome this very new day.
Into the desert of our lives,
bringing truth and freedom,
God becomes man.
Morning softly awakens
all our deepest longings to be reborn, to be reborn.
