Lyrics

not the way it seems...

tiny baby with an ancient cry
we had waited for a long long time
into our darkness He came and warmed our hearts with His light

He didn't wait for us to come to Him
He was born into our loneliness and sin
wrapped in swaddling clothes, one day He'd wrap us up in royal robes

now a star's shining down on the Light of the world
and a manger holds the Bread of life
shepherds follow the Shepherd, kings kneel before the King
heaven’s plan is veiled in mystery
for tonight nothing is the way it seems

so let us worship Him just as we are
bring Him the offering of our broken hearts
out of our darkness He comes and warms our hearts with His light

Lamb of God, He was born among the sheep
to give His life for everyone who seeks
grace undeserved, nothing we can earn - just believe

now a star's shining down on the Light of the world
and a manger holds the Bread of life
shepherds follow the Shepherd, kings kneel before the King
heaven’s plan is veiled in mystery
for tonight nothing is the way it seems

we can't explain Him
He is foolish to those who seem wise
we can't contain Him
but we can see Him through a child's eyes……

now a star's shining down on the Light of the world
and a manger holds the Bread of life
shepherds follow the Shepherd, kings kneel before the King
heaven’s plan is veiled in mystery
for tonight nothing is the way it seems
