Christmas Song

At the center of the ages,
The Lord talks with a girl,
And by the words He speaks,
He gives a Savior to the world.
The time grows to its fullness,
And Mary’s Son is born —
The promise’s fullfilment
Lies asleep now in her arms
He didn’t come to terrify,
To judge or condescend;
To call us all His servants,
But to lift us as His friends;
To save us all from Satan’s power,
To reign at his right hand —
When, once for all eternity,
God became a man.
Today the God of majesty
Has given to the earth
A gift of such magnificence
We could never plumb its worth;
And the rudeness of the setting
Just ignites the jewel’s fire:
A pearl beyond the greatest price
The joy of man’s desire.
Today the God of majesty
Has given to the earth
A gift of such magnificence
We could never plumb its worth;
And the rudeness of the setting
Just ignites the jewel’s fire:
A pearl beyond the greatest price
The joy of man’s desire.
He didn’t come to terrify,
To judge or condescend;
To call us all His servants,
But to lift us as His friends;
To save us all from certain death,
To reign at his right hand —
When, once for all eternity,
God became a man.
Once for all eternity,
God became a man.
