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, life Him high

Behold the Savior

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
