[Verse 1:]
All the angels held their breath
As heaven put on human clothes
Rang the news God did not forget
His promise that was sent
From the prophets old
[Verse 2:]
The answer came in a sacred birth
Truth an justice meek and mild
All the hope and the peace on earth
Rested in the hands of a newborn child
[Chorus:]
From God in the highest
Heaven made a way in a manger
From God in the highest
Love was born through
A simple virgin girl
It took a child to save the world
[Verse 2:]
For the ones who were lost He came
Every child of Adams fall
Emmanuel was the precious name
Of the small boy who would grow
And would touch us all
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
So let the kings and the nations bow
To the baby so divine
As we lift up our voices now
Praises to the Savior of all mankind
[Chorus]
[Vamp:]
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
(It took a child to save the world, yeah)
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
(He came to seek the lost like you and I, yeah)
He came to seek and save
Redeem us back to Him
(For God so loved the world)
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
(If you will believe in Him you will have)
If you will believe in Him eternal life you'll find
