HE WAS BORN

 

LITTLE BABY BOY, IN THE HAY, FAST ASLEEP

FULFILLMENT OF THE PROMISE THAT THE FATHER WOULD KEEP

WHAT CHILD IS THIS? GOD WAS BORN TO THE WORLD

AND HIS PLAN AT THAT MOMENT BEGAN TO UNFURL

 

THIS BLESSED DAY, SUCH A DAY TO BEHOLD

WISE MEN BROUGHT HIM GIFTS, FRANKINCENSE, MYRRH AND GOLD

THAT LITTLE BABY BOY, JESUS, IS HIS NAME

LEFT HIS THRONE IN HEAVEN, STILL, IN THAT MANGER, HE REIGNED

 

THEY ALL GATHERED ROUND HIM, IN WORSHIP AND IN AWE

WORSHIPED THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE AS HE LAY IN THE STRAW

THEY HEARD GOO-GOO’S AND GA-GA’S, SOME WOULD SMILE, AND SOME SIGHED

IT’S SO HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT IT WAS COMING FROM GOD

 

THEN THEY HEARD THE CHILD, THIS LITTLE KING, AS HE CRIED

“HE’LL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM SIN” THE MEN PROPHESIED

AS TINY BABY FEET KICKED HIGH IN THE AIR

THIS LITTLE ONE WOULD END MY WORLD OF DESPAIR

 

FOR HE WAS BORN TO DISPEL THE DARKNESS WITH LIGHT

BORN TO BRING DAY TO THE ENDLESS NIGHT

HE BROUGHT WITH HIM HOPE WHEN HE WAS BORN ON THAT DAY

HOPE TO THOSE OF US WHO WOULD GO ASTRAY

 

LITTLE BABY DREAMS, YOU AND ME, ON HIS MIND

THE HURTS AND THE PAINS, OF ALL MANKIND

HE WAS BORN TO MAKE ALL CREATION FREE

BORN TO CONQUER DEATH FOR YOU AND FOR ME

 

BORN TO TAKE FROM DEATH, IT’S MIGHTY STING

BORN TO SPEAK LIFE WAS THE BABY KING

BORN TO HAVE MERCY AND TO GIVE GRACE

BORN TO GRANT FORGIVENESS IN EACH AND EVERY CASE

 

GOD LOVED YOU AND ME SO MUCH

THAT HE GAVE OF HIMSELF TO BE BORN TO US

US, FROM THIS WORLD, HE WOULD RESCUE FROM SIN

WITH SO MUCH LOVE IN HIS HEART TO RECONCILE US TO HIM

 

BORN TO BE TOUCHED BY OUR INFIRMITY     

OUR SORROWS, TEMPTATIONS, BORN TO KNOW THE THINGS WE…

GO THROUGH EVERYDAY, FOR HE CAME, BORN IN FLESH

BORN TO GIVE US THE GRACE TO WITHSTAND ANY TEST

 

HE WAS BORN A PLACE OF REFUGE, A MIGHTY AND STRONG TOWER

HE WAS BORN FOR OUR TRIUMPH BY HIS SPIRIT AND POWER

FOR ALL THAT HE GAVE, I HAD FOR HIM, NO GIFT

I HEARD HIM SAY FOR MY HEART, TO HIM, TO LIFT

 

 

 

 

HE WAS BORN TO SAVE ME FROM MY SIN

A SECOND CHANCE TO LIVE MY LIFE AGAIN

BORN IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, PERFECT AND COMPLETE

MY DEBT OF SIN, HE WAS BORN TO MEET

 

BORN TO DESPISE ALL OF OUR SHAME

BY STRIPES TO COME, WE’D BE HEALED IN HIS NAME

HE WAS BORN TO GIVE PURPOSE TO EMPTY LIVES

A PLAN FOR ALL OF US, DIVINELY DEVISED

 

HE WAS BORN FOR MARRIAGES TO HEAL

FROM THE PAIN HUSBANDS AND WIVES TOO OFTEN FEEL

HE WAS BORN TO DEAL WITH ANGER AND RAGE

FROM WOUNDED EMOTIONS AS THEY ENGAGE

 

HE WAS BORN FOR THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN ABUSED

FOR THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN BATTERED AND BRUISED

HE WAS BORN TO FREE US FROM ADDICTIONS

BORN TO US FOR ALL OUR AFFLICTIONS

 

HE WAS BORN WITH LOVE, FOR ALL TO GIVE

SO THAT LOVING EACH OTHER, WE ALL COULD LIVE

THOUGH MANY DIFFERENCES, WE DO CLAIM

IN HIS EYES WE ARE ALL… THE SAME

 

WE WERE ALL HOPELESS, TIL HE APPEARED

CLOSE TO HIS HEART, WE WERE ALL SO ENDEARED

HE WAS BORN TO GIVE US WORTH

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US WALKING THIS EARTH

 

BORN TO US, EMANUEL

GOD IS WITH US, NOW… ALL IS WELL

FROM HIS THRONE IN HEAVEN, TO THE WOMB OF HIS MOTHER

HE IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE, THE MIGHTY GOD, COUNSELLOR

 

HE IS WONDERFUL, THE FATHER EVERLASTING

SO COME, RECEIVE YOUR BABY… KING

TO THE WORLD COMES JOY, NO MORE TO MOURN

BECAUSE THIS LITTLE CHILD WAS BORN

 

PREPARE HIM ROOM, THAT HE MAY REIGN IN YOUR HEART

AND IN YOUR LIFE, GRACE AND PEACE HE’LL IMPART

HEAVEN’S ANGELS SING OF HIS GLORY

HE WAS BORN TO US TO TELL OTHERS… HIS STORY

 

WE HONOR OUR NEW BORN BABY KING

THE GOD CHILD, HOLY, HIS PRAISES WE SING

HE WAS BORN TO BE WORSHIPED AND ADORED

BORN TO YOU THIS DAY… A SAVIOR, THIS IS CHRIST, THE LORD
