They never knew a dark night Always had the Son's light on their face Perfect in glory, broken by the story Of untold grace, come that day Majesty had come down, glory had succumbed now To flesh and bone In the arms of a manger, in the hands of strangers That could not know, just who they hold And the angels filled the sky All of heaven wondered why Why their King would choose to be Be a baby born to die And all fell silent for the cry of an infant The voice of God Was dividing history for those with eyes to see The Son would shine from earth that night And the angels filled the sky All of heaven wondered why Why their King would choose to be Be a baby born to die, be a baby born to die To break the chains of guilt and sin To find us here, to pull us in So we can join in heaven's song And with one voice around the throne All the angels filled the sky And I can't help but wonder why Why this King would choose to be Be a baby born for me, be a baby born Be a baby born to die
