Born In a manger
Was God's Son our Savior In the midst of the night The star shining so bright It lit the whole world With salvation foretold With glory and splendor Which no one could render We had hope so grim And we lived in our sin But He came to save us all The One who knew us before the fall So that we may not perish But His mercy cherish He lived a life of service With truth for teaching and boldness His life remained without a spot With incorruption that couldn't be bought He lived a life for all to follow So that we may have hope if we die tomorrow He was tempted by darkness Which once was so spotless And he did prevail By conquer of self For He is the Rock That broke the deadlock Which tied us to sin From the deepness within He was accused And withstood the abuse That was rightfully ours In His final hours So He took His last breath And looked in the sky He looked down on death Barely alive He spoke His last words “It is finished” He said Up flew the birds And down leaned His head As He laid on the cross His body was still He died for the lost Up there on that hill No bone had been broken But His blood was shed And the thorns they had woven Right unto His head Then darkness fell over All of the skies And we were no longer Tied to our lives Now we had life With freedom in Christ He broke through our strife With conviction and light So we have come along To two roads tonight One which is wrong And the other which is right Life has two roads That you must follow With many loads And many sorrows Through all the strife Though many things are said Some people choose life And some people choose death But there is a voice “Choose life” He says Please make the choice Which leads not to death For this He has died To lift up all people He is alive He made us all equal He has pardoned all sin He has made all wrongs right He has freed us within To walk in His light Will you choose all the pain? Will you take on the toll? “For what will man gain? If he loses his soul” But fear not there's hope He is the word No not the pope Its Jesus our Lord Christ will be coming Like never before Will He find us yawning? Or ready for war To Him trust your lives To Jesus the Lord He knows your life And He knows all the chords We may not know now What we will know then We shall know how God's Son walked with men So this is my Thesis What shall you do? Knowing that Jesus Has died for you |
