The Promised One

"The Lord God said when time was full
He would shine his light in the darkness.

He said a virgin would conceive

and give birth to the Promise.

For a thousand years the dreamers dreamt

And hoped to see his love.

But the Promise showed their wildest dreams

had simply not been wild enough!

The Promise was Love,

And the Promise was Life.

The Promise meant light to the world.

Living proof that Yawheh saves

For the name of the Promise was Jesus.

The Faithful One saw time was full

And the ancient pledge was honored.

So God the Son, the Incarnate One,

His final Word, His Own Son

Was born in Bethlehem but came

into our Hearts to live.

What more could God have given, tell me

what more did He have to give?

"The Promise was love

And the Promise was Life

The Promise meant light to the world.

Living proof that Yahweh saves.

For the name of the Promise was Jesus."
