We Can Hardly Wait for Christmas (Home for Christmas)

​We Can Hardly Wait for Christmas (Home for Christmas)

We Can Hardly Wait for Christmas
By Chase Reihmann & Kevin Bueltmann

Verse 1
We can hardly wait for Christmas
You promise to be with us
But as we struggle to cope
We know You’ve given us hope
 
We can hardly wait for Christmas
Celebrate the gift You give us
Oh, the time’s almost here.
And we know You are near.
 
Chorus:
Home - 
We long to be at home with You.
Home - 
We know that we’ll see You soon.

We are waiting for Your presence
Face-to-face with no more distance 
So in spite of our homesickness
Soon we’ll be home 
We’ll be home for Christmas
Yeah, we’ll be home for Christmas
 
Verse 2
And oh, that day is getting closer
Soon our waiting will be over.
We are rehearsing our parts
And preparing our hearts
 
Getting ready for Your Returning
Periwinkle candles burning
The church bells all ring
As the carolers sing…
 
Bridge:
It’s so sad that separation
Causes so much apprehension 
But Your Christmas incarnation
Made a way for our redemption.
     Through Your death & resurrection
     You forgive us our transgressions
     Fill our hearts with Your compassion
     We are Yours. We are Yours! And You are...Home..
 
Final Chorus: 
Home - 
We know that You’re at at home with us 
Home - 
Emmanuel You're here with us 

No more waiting for Your presence 
As You promised You're beside us 
And You take away homesickness
You’re always home
Always, home for Christmas
Always, home for Christmas
