Maranatha ========= w&m: Gerard Chiusano, 2000 [Refrain] Maranatha, we long for your peace. Maranatha, we long for your mercy. Maranatha, we long for your coming, O God. [Verse 1] In your image you have fashioned us, in the garden you made us; you have given us your breath of life, voice to praise your name, voice to praise your name. [Refrain] [Verse 2] In our weakness we have turned from you, turned from light to the darkness, ever longing for salvation, O Lord of light, O Lord of light. [Refrain] [Verse 3] In your love you have sent your Son, your salvation for ev'ryone; Word incarnate, God's compassion, hope for humankind, hope for humankind. [Refrain] [Verse 4] We await your day of glory, Christ Jesus, return for us. Gentle King, Just Deliverer, you will bring us home, you will bring us home. [Refrain]
