THE MESSIAH WAS BORN – LYRICS

A King was to be born
A long deserted way to find a place
For His birth
Mary didn’t know
That she could make the long
journey
On her own

He was to be a King
Hosts of angels sing
He was to be a King
Hosts of angels sing

As the time drew near
A star began to shine in the night sky
So bright
Joseph could not find
Nothing but a manager filled with hay
For their son

He was to be a King
Hosts of angels sing
He was to be a King
Hosts of angels sing

The Messiah was born
The King of all creation had come
Into our world
To save us from within
To die for all our sins
Naked on that cross
Jesus Christ
The Saviour

People came from afar
Wise men and shepherds
People came afar to see this king
People came from afar
Wise men and shepherds
People came afar to see this king
Hosts of angels sing

The Messiah was born
The King of all creation had come
Into our world
To save us from within
To die for all our sins
Naked on that cross
Jesus Christ
The Saviour
