Born
of a virgin, sent from above
Laid
in a manger, the Son of God's love
To a
people in darkness He freed long ago
Bet
even with this they still didn’t know
He was
the Messiah that was promised to come
Yet
they doubted and questioned if He was the One.
He
came in humility, meekness and love
Not
what they expected at the birth of God's Son
They
didn’t understand the reflection they saw
Of the
heart of the Father in the face of His Son.
God's
glory disguised in frail human flesh
to
show us Gods love is why He was sent.
They
looked for a hero who was great in their eyes
To
wipe away tears and take away sighs
Groaning
under the weight of their sin
Not
yet understanding by faith we come in
To the
kingdom of God prepared long ago
That
would first reign in hearts before it would show
God
kept His word and fulfilled what he said
For
Jesus was the seed that bruised satan’s head
He
restored mans authority to rule and to reign
took on our guilt and freed us from shame
We again
walk with Father in the cool of the day
Through
Jesus the Truth the Life and the Way
His
name is Immanuel, God dwelling with man
In
frail human flesh for this was His plan
To
reconcile to himself all those who receive
The
gift of His Son and chose to believe.
Jesus
is the Messiah God promised would come
The
radiance of God’s glory and only begotten Son.
