In the Garden
Man had fallen from grace
It doomed the human race
Man was lost
In hopelessness and pain
Sin and death would now reign
Because of divine love
There formed a plan
To save wretched man
A Savior was needed
A spotless Lamb
The great I AM
God the Son would come
To set mankind free
From his estate lowly
God chose
A humble Jewish girl
She was special
Mary served the Lord
She agreed to God’s fiat
In her womb the Messiah sat
A true miracle
This virgin most fair
The Christ child she would bare
In a remote city of Bethlehem
Mary and Joseph did sojourn
The world would soon turn
No room in the inn
Christ was born in a stable
This was no fable
The animals looked on
The God Man was alive
Our hope did survive
Rejoice I say
Behold Israel’s King
Let choirs of angels sing
Gloria Gloria Gloria
Hosanna in excelsis
Emmanuel – God with us
The very universe sings
A cosmic celebration
Of Jesus’s incarnation
Thirty-three years later
Christ would pay our penalty
From sin we’d be set free
Humiliated and brutalized
Such pain He endured for us
What an astounding witness
On the rocky hill of Golgotha
The time struck three midday
Such a loving display
Jesus bore God’s full wrath
Christ gave up His spirit
His life did He forfeit
Mary wept
Was this the last act
Did Christ succumb to Satan’s attack
No this was not the end
For on the third day Christ rose
It was us He chose
Death could not hold Him
The fabric of spacetime did bend
This was not His end
Christ conquered death
As He rose again so shall we
Who can fathom such a mystery
So repent
And believe the Good News
Your heart of stone you’ll lose
A new creation in Christ
Saved by grace through faith alone
In the Book of Life your name is known
Merry Christmas to all
On this day our salvation had begun
No more from God will you run
We look ahead to Calvary
Christmas mirth
Foreshadows our new birth
A single love story
From Mary’s womb
To the Easter tomb
Snow is falling
I hear carolers sing
It’s time for an awakening
Don’t delay
Trust in Christ alone
For us He did atone
You’ll receive the Comforter
In your heart He will dwell
Blessed assurance you cannot dispel
Walk by the Spirit
In all that you do
Rejoice you’re one of the few
