Our Messiah Came

Our Mes­si­ah came for all man­kind

To bring us back to God!

For we like sheep had gone as­tray

We all the broad road trod.

It broke His heart to see us go

And per­ish in our sin;

So Je­sus came from Heav’n to earth

Our souls from hell to win.

In Beth­le­hem our king was born

And in a man­ger lay;

The pro­phet Mi­cah did fore­tell:

His go­ings forth for aye.

His life was filled with do­ing good

And teach­ing men of peace;

His ho­li­ness

His truth and love

Brought proud men to their knees.

The Jew­ish rulers hat­ed Him

And plot­ted to de­stroy

The heav’n­ly King whose life did bring

The way of peace and joy.

And when they’d scourged and beat­en Him

They hung Him on a tree;

With nails and spear His hands and side

Were pierced for you and me.

But death could not re­strain our Lord

For He is King of life!

And burst­ing from the dark­ened tomb

Conquered Sa­tan

sin and strife.

Dear Sav­ior how can I give thanks

For giv­ing me Your grace?

I’ll give my life

my love

my all

Forever sing Your praise!
