lyrics

God Came (1994)

Long ago in the land of Israel,
God sent to us a babe
Prophets foretold long before
This baby boy ever came
That he would be born in Bethlehem
And that he would be called Immanuel
God with us

Long before man ever fell
God's redemption plan was in place
He saw there would be a need
For a savior of the human race
And then the word became flesh
Dwelling among the very ones
He would save

CHORUS
And God came to live with us
God came in the person of His Son
Though we rejected him
Those who would believe will become
Children of God

He lived for some thirty years
And he taught us the way to live
But we only laughed and sneered
And rejected what he had to give
We sent him to Calvary
To die there in pain and suffering
On a tree

He could have freed himself
From the clutches of that bloody cross
But love held his hands and feet
To that cross where his life was lost
And he said, "Father, forgive them
They know not just what it is
That they do"

bridge
They buried him that very same day
They mourned and wept
For he had gone away
But he arose that third and glorious day
And through his life we all
We all may live!
