Lyrics

Tiny hands holding mine as you reach for me
When I hear the softest cries I feel your every need
Smelling warm and soft and sweet
As you nuzzle in to sleep, You hold on to me

All my heart glorifies this tiny King of Kings
Fully God and fully man you chose this frailty
Choosing small and simple lives
To raise the perfect sacrifice
You hold on to me

Light of the world resting in my arms
You are the prince of peace, what was I expecting?
Emmanuel, here under the stars
I am full of need, yet you rely on me
I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this
My sweet heaven’s kiss

Every heart will magnify the One who came to save
You will heal all who come with your tender grace
You embraced a mother’s care
But in this moment I’m aware
You hold on to me, You hold on to me

Light of the world resting in my arms
You are the prince of peace, what was I expecting?
Emmanuel, here under the stars
I am full of need, yet you rely on me
I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this
My sweet heaven’s kiss

My child became a man, and now I understand
Why You chose to come
Now I hear your voice, sweeping through the noise
Saying you have held me all along

Light of the world, I’m resting in your arms
You are the prince of peace, what was I expecting?
Emmanuel, my home is where you are
I have all I need when you are holding me
I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this
My sweet heaven’s kiss
