The bitter cold of night drove on
With humble Joseph's foot upon
The winding road that led from Galilee
In Bethlehem a stranger
Lay in a lowly manger
The Savior there was born for you and me
In service all His life was spent
To rich and poor alike He went
And testified that like Him we can be
If we love one another
And treat him as our brother
The Savior showed the way for you and me
Then on the cross was lifted up
And would he not partake the cup
But Father, all the glory unto Thee
The price of death was paid
Three days His body laid
The Savior bled and died for you and me
The message of the barren tomb
The one that kept this Jesus whom
We now invite the world to come and see
Has risen from the grave
Our sinful lives to save
And lovingly He says come, follow me
A matchless plan unfurled
For God so loved the world
He sent His Son to come and set us free
And though I can't repay Him
His witness I will be
The Savior lives again for you and me
