Contrasts
He came a tiny baby
Born in a cattle stall
Though He was earth’s Creator
And ruled from heaven’s hall.
Born in a cattle stall
Though He was earth’s Creator
And ruled from heaven’s hall.
He came to live among us
And share our pain and tears
Though He was Lord of nations
The God of endless years.
He came to be rejected
By those He loved to death
Though He was King of glory
And gave each person breath.
He came to die like sinners
To take our guilt and sin
Though He was true and sinless
Completely pure within.
He came to rise immortal
The firstfruits from the grave;
Though He was life’s Composer
He died and rose to save.
He came to be our Savior,
Our Brother, Lord, and Friend
So we would love and trust Him
Whose mercy has no end.
