The Lord saw our plight so a star he did light
But the world in return made his son take to flight
But then as he grew he saw through to you
Knowing we had a great debt that was due
In time he would grow and his love he would show
That by his great grace through your faith you would know
He would go up that hill doing his father's will
To shed blood on the cross would our debt he fulfill
It is there that by grace we can look on his face
To find that in heaven is prepared us a place
His desire to save us from sin that enslaved us
Meant on a cruel tree that our shame he'd take for us
So, now then at Christmas a tree stands before us
With a star that will tell us the story of Jesus
