Messiah

In a manger of darkness and dirt
There the cry of a newborn was heard
The Word lived among us
And He was the Light of the world

The fullness of truth and grace
The heart of the Father displayed
Not a king with a sword
But a lowly carpenter’s babe

Messiah
Messiah
He is the promise
The One that we’ve waited for

Who could ever imagine a King
Who would step into our suffering
Royalty willing
To kneel down and wash dirty feet

And the truth of His Kingdom is this
That the darkness is not dark to Him
And He welcomes the weary
To come lay their burdens on Him

Messiah
Messiah
He is the promise
The One that we’ve waited for
Yeshua
Our Savior
He is the answer
Hope for a longing world

He is comfort to the lonely
For the outcast the closest friend
He’s the healer and redeemer
Who restores us from brokenness
He works justice from injustice
Leading us into righteousness
He is holy above all things
From beginning to the end

Messiah
Messiah
He is the promise
The One that we’ve waited for
Yeshua
Our Savior
He is the answer
Hope for a longing world

He is the answer
Hope for a longing world
