Love Came Down

A mother so young
A Father so strong
A journey so long

They weren’t expected
Who would take such a journey
To leave home and family at such a time

Anyplace, safe and warm
Little comfort, but enough for them
The waiting, almost done

Pain, blood and birth
The sacrifice of a mother
To bring a King to His throne

Fragile and tiny
Born into simplicity
There was no news spread throughout the land

Only a star, leading the way
And a choir, singing to an audience so few
All hope bound up in a babe, both for now and eternity

The most important event in history
But a mystery to all the world
They continued their lives, not knowing everything changed

God’s plan
Humanity and Sovereignty
Bound up in flesh

Humble beginnings
Marching towards a violent end
What love is this?

In the proper time
All would be made known
Heaven sent, finding His way

Baby, boy, man
Born, lived, died
Alpha, Immanuel, Omega

A baby’s cry
A man’s anguish
A torn curtain

The story begins
We praise this great gift
We believe and receive our salvation

The author has joined the story
He lived in it among us
He cleared the way to the finish line

Celebrate Christmas
Praise this indescribable gift
Tell the Joy to all the world

Today, in the city of David,
A Savior is born
Who is Christ our Lord
