Lyrics
The sin-sick world needed saving
And though we tried and tried
We could not save ourselves
But God, in His infinite wisdom, provided
A way. A way not mapped out by
Human hands but divinely directed to change
The course of history. Through His son Jesus
Salvation made its way from the
Thrones of heaven to the throes of humanity.
Arriving not in splendor, but in simplicity,
As a baby. This was not entirely what
Was expected, but it's exactly what was needed.
Behold the King has come, divinity incarnate
Creator of the world, breathing our air
Behold what light has come, and the dark cannot contain it
The Savior of the world is finally here
Behold the Father's love, beyond all comprehension
He gave His only Son to die in our place
Through Jesus, all is accomplished
The words of the law and the prophets
Fulfilled. Salvation has come to the
lost. Sight for the blind, healing for
The sick, death reversed and sin defeated
for good. So here
And now, at Christmas, we stand in awe
And worship. Not to simply sing happy
Songs or exchange humble gifts but to
Remember why Jesus was born.
For in His birth, He set course to the cross
And that cross casts an eternal light on the
Shadows of this world. Light that makes
The darkness flee, the enemy retreat
And death itself reverse. We worship today because
Salvation is ours. Through Christ Jesus
The baby. Born to die, born to save
The world and overcome the grave.
Go and see that empty tomb, He's not there for He is risen
Ev'ry heart prepare Him room, Jesus Christ the King of Heaven
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, divine, O night, O night divine
Come let us adore Him, come let us adore Him
For He alone is worthy, Christ the Lord
Come let us adore Him, come let us adore Him
For He alone is worthy
Christ the Lord, the Lord
Christ the Lord, the Lord
