Behold the Savior Lyrics

Oh what innocence
Sleeping in a manger
Under dreamless skies
See the newborn king
Trading every glory
For a silent nightHere is the promise we have waited for
He will not leave us in the darkCHORUS
He will bear our weight
He will wear our shame
Come lift Him high
Behold the Savior
Jesus Christ
Law of love and light
Come lift Him high
Behold the SaviorVeiled deity
Praise of every angel
Shepherds bowing low
Sweet humility

Mercy as a baby
God in flesh and boneHere is the promise we have waited for
He will not leave us in the darkCHORUSHere is the promise we have waited for
He will not leave us in the dark
He is the promise we have waited for
The cry of every searching heartCHORUS
He will bear our weight
He will wear our shame
Come lift Him high
Behold the Savior
Jesus Christ
Law of love and lightCome lift Him high
Behold the Savior
