[Verse 1]
God's chosen people longed for their Deliverer.
The days were dark; oppression filled the land.
Into this scene came Holy Word who took on flesh,
And those with eyes to see, said of this Man:
A Child is born, beyond all our imaginings;
A Child is born, fulfilling phophecy.
And by His life, the world will see the face of God;
And by His death, we'll be forgiven and set free.

[Verse 2]
The earth is tired; creation longs to be made new,
And likewise we were made for more than this,
For in our hearts lie pieces of eternity
To be awakened soon with heaven's kiss.
A Child is born beyond our wildest hopes and dreams;
A Child is born redeeming history,
And by His life, the world has seen the face of God,
And by His death, we're forgiven and set free!

[Coda]
By His new life, we're forgiven and set free!
Set free!
