about

When I began working on this album, I really wanted to write some songs about the birth of Jesus that would be different. I wanted the songs to come from perspectives that are not the norm for Christmas songs. So often, Christmas songs tend to focus on the “manger” theme without really venturing into the lives of the people that were witnesses to this great event. I wanted songs that show how Jesus’ arrival had an impact on everyone.

Perhaps one of the most fascinating characters in all of scripture is Simeon (Luke 2:25 -35). Although he’s only mentioned once in a very short passage of scripture, he has always been an interesting figure to me. We don’t know much about him, other than he was told by God that he would not die before he saw the Messiah. He must have been a very devout, very righteous, God-fearing man! This song is kind of an “ode” to Simeon who, once he saw Jesus, knew that his life was now complete.

lyrics

Now I know what it is that I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for you
Now I know what people have been talking about for years
They've been talking about you
I've got to know more about you now that you're here
I want to know you
I've got to know what you will be doing in my life
I've got to know you

It's hard to see how you will grow
From a child into my Savior
But you will be the one to show
That only through you, I can be…

Chorus: Complete, with nothing in my life
Ever lacking in anything
I'm complete. Through you I can see
What my life is all about
I'm complete

I don't know what words I can use to describe
How I feel for you
But I know that you are now the best thing in my life
And I love you

It's hard to see how you will grow
From a child into my Savior
But you will be the one to show
That only through you, I can be…

Chorus

It's hard to see how you will grow
From a child into my Savior
But you will be the one to show
That only through you, I can be…

Chorus
