Joy to the World

Christ, the immortal
Condescended to mortal man
So that we who are mortals
Might become immortal
After the race is ran

Out of love Christ came
Man was lost in sin
Totally depraved
He was spiritually dead
But Christ became a propitiation

On the cross
At Calvary
Jesus died
He paid the ultimate price
So that man could be set free

Behold the Lamb of God
He bore God’s full wrath
Jesus took our penalty
We the sinful wretches
He followed God the Father’s path

Mary the virgin was Christ’s mother
She was as chaste as can be
The Holy Spirit overshadowed her
Nine months later Jesus was born
He would make the blind see

As we celebrate Christmas
Let us look ahead to Easter Sunday
The day of our victory
When Christ was resurrected
We follow the Way

Christ our Savior and Lord
We’re joyful for His incarnation
Because He lives
Death and sin have lost their hold on us
It’s time for a celebration
