Just as Isaiah, the prophet, has foretold
A sprout from Jesse’s root into a tree shall grow
This sprout shall bloom into a mighty tree of life,
Its fruit will feed us and its source will be our light.
The Spirit of the Lord will come to dwell with us
A righteous judge, a mighty counselor
By the word of his everlasting power
The baby in the manger upholds the universe
The baby in the manger upholds the universe
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
And through him to reconcile all things to himself.
Have you ever seen a wolf and a lamb lie down together?
Can there ever be peace like this between enemies?
Can there ever be peace like this between enemies?
Would God dare to descend to come live with his enemies?
The Spirit of the Lord will come to dwell with us
Put on flesh, make peace for us with God
By the word of his everlasting power
The baby in the manger upholds the universe
The baby in the manger upholds the universe
Then I saw heaven open, and behold,
A white horse with its rider, righteousness his clothes
With eyes that burn like fire, and a crown atop his head
Robes dipped in blood that he himself willingly shed
Yet I had no doubt, I still recognized his face
Son of God, Son of Man, Glorious grace!
He’s the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords,
Messiah, Christ, The Word of God!
He’s the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords,
Messiah, Christ, The Word of God!
The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords,
Messiah, Christ, The Word of God!
The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords,
Messiah, Christ, The Word of God!
The Spirit of the Lord has come to dwell with us
Behold, the Lamb of God makes all things new!
By the word of his everlasting power
The baby in the manger upholds the universe
The baby in the manger upholds the universe
And he shall reign forever and ever.
