A Shoot, a Branch

A shoot, a branch
The stem of the tree
The promise of God
King for all eternity
A shoot, a branch
Rising to the throne
Born of human flesh
Yet more precious than gold
God come down,
Restoring the breach
Listen to him
He has much to teach
Life in him,
The babe in the manger
Life in him
The one long foretold
Born of clay
Yet saving our souls
