Walking in darkness - nowhere to turn
No one to guide us from day to day
Living in sadness and fear of tomorrow
Who will save us and show us the way?
A great light shone bright from the heavens above
Someone to deliver us out of our plight
The answer came down in a bundle of love
Born in Bethlehem under God-sent light.
Shepherds came running - their flocks left behind
To see the Messiah in a manger so small.
They knelt by the child - praising God for His Son
Who would break down all barriers and shatter the wall.
He came bringing gladness to all of the earth
To take all our burdens and give us His peace
That only the Father can bestow in our hearts
If we'll give Him our lives - our wills to release.
The government shall be upon His shoulders
His name shall be called Mighty Prince of Peace
Wonderful, Counselor, Eternal God.
His powerful reign will never cease.
