behold the savior

oh

what innocence

sleeping in a manger

under dreamless skies

see the newborn king

trading every glory

for a silent night

here is the promise we have waited for

he will not leave us in the dark

he will bear our weight

he will wear our shame

come lift him high

behold the savior

jesus christ

law of love and light

come lift him high

behold the savior

veiled deity

praise of every angel

shepherds bowing low

sweet humility

mercy as a baby

god in flesh and bone

here is the promise we have waited for

he will not leave us in the dark

he will bear our weight

he will wear our shame

come lift him high

behold the savior

jesus christ

law of love and light

come lift him high

behold the savior

behold the savior

emmanuel

emmanuel

here is the promise we have waited for

he will not leave us in the dark

he is the promise we have waited for

the cry of every searching heart

he will bear our weight

he will wear our shame

come lift him high

behold the savior

jesus christ

law of love and light

come lift him high

behold the savior

come lift him high

behold the savior

come lift him high

behold the savior

behold the savior
