Sr Marianne Misetich wrote this charming advent song that I assume is aimed at children as in this clip.
Listen to a sample at AOV here.
My backing’s tempo is 102 and the intro was made up by Band in a Box.
Verse 1
We’re waiting for Jesus like Mary,
We’re waiting for Jesus the Lord.Refrain
Come down, Lord Jesus!
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
The whole world is waiting for Love,
The whole world is waiting for Love.Verse 2
We’re laying a manger for Mary,
A manger for Jesus the Lord.Refrain
Verse 3
We’re making it lovely for Mary,
So lovely for Jesus the Lord.Refrain

Very nice ….I love this song .
Thank you so much! I remember singing this as a child and was trying to recall how it went so I could teach it to my children. Thank you for having this up!
Thanks a lot for this, and thanks to Sister. This is so beautiful. You are so great! I am so grateful.
