Christmas Song

Lyrics

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 fulfillment 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 In the little town of Bethlehem When God became a man The day 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 The day 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 When God became a man
