| Man had to restore What man had lost Where sickness, pain, and death Were the bounties of the first Adam Healing, freedom, and eternal life The bounties of the Second Selah His love so great That he came down from heaven And took on flesh and blood Like you and me And became a babe in a manger From the city of Bethlehem He submitted to his parents For thirty years And did nothing wonderful Selah For three years He healed, delivered, and raised the dead But he had no where to lay his head And wrote no books Selah He died a sinner’s death By crucifixion And took on his flesh The sin of the world And conquered death For you and me Selah His will to do the will of the Father His life a living sacrifice Denying his Holy Self By yielding to the Holy Spirit Fasting from food and sleep and comfort For you and me Selah His legacy To turn the sinner into a saint Heal the sick Raise the dead Bestow eternal life Selah Christmas The birth of a Savior The birth of a humble God Who became obedient Even to death on a Cross His name Jesus My Savior And My God Praise the name of the Lord Selah Receive Him today Into your heart He bids you come Open wide your gates Open wide your heart And let him in He wants to give you Eternal life And joy unspeakable And full of glory Amen Amen Amen |
