One lonely night
A story began
The virgin gave birth
To God’s Holy Plan.
Look past the straw,
And into His face
The King of all kings
Is disguised as a babe.
Oh the mystery!
Why would God come down?
Be clothed in flesh and blood
Setting down His crown?
What caused Him to care?
Or walk this earth
To give hope to the sinners
To make us have worth?
History’s longing
Is finally here
The prophets foretelling
Has brought man great cheer
Angels rejoice
The world meet’s its King
Excitement is building
The shepherds go see
Oh the mystery!
Why would God come down?
Be clothed in flesh and blood
Setting down His crown?
What caused Him to care?
Or walk this earth
To give hope to a sinners
Or to make us have worth?
A star shone above
Pointing to Him:
The light to the lost
Found in their sin
A Light in the darkness
A gift from above
Giving us hope
That the Father still loved
Oh my history!
Why would God come down?
Be clothed in flesh and blood
Setting down His crown?
What caused Him to care?
Or look past myself
He showed love to a sinner
And gave the hopeless help.
But now when I think of Christmas
I think not of that night
It’s value in my heart
Has lost its worth over time
The excitement of His coming
The truth that was so near
Is lost in the holiday bustling
Inside I have a fear
Oh the mystery!
How could I forget?
How could I forget?
The goodness of His love
The beauty of this Gift?
How I am ashamed
At the selfishness
Of looking past that sight
And to my Christmas list
Silent Night, the First Noel,
Sing not without thought
For today I will remember
The sacrifice, the lot
Of the baby King
Who was there before it began
Coming to save the world
Through a strange and beautiful plan
