Born is a King

For unto us a child is born

Angels give voice to the news

With this birth comes joy

A star giving the manger light

A virgin cradles her only son

This King born on a Holy night

He will be called Immanuel

Wonderful counselor, Mighty God

Heavens sovereign, The Son of man

Earths rulers will come to bow

Shepherds simple gift of worship

This world never to be the same

The messiah stepped into time

Salvation has come to us sinners

The Kingdom of Heaven is near

Hosanna to the highest he’ll hear

Crucify him soon after to be shouted

Still on this day Heaven moved

Ignoring the pain that must come

The cross that awaits his arrival

Even so this was Bethlehem day

No longer the least among Judah

Forever the birthplace of Christ

This is an event for all the ages

People wandering in the darkness

They have now seen a great light

For unto us a child is born
