knowing Christ had come


knowing Christ had come
the fulfillment of scripture
God had sent the Son
to deliver God’s people
the Messiah was born
laid in a manger bed
God walking here among us

knowing Christ had come
cry out in the desert
preparing a way for the Christ
transforming hearts
calling for repentance
the Messiah was alive
God walking here among us
