My Christ was born on Christmas day
The love of God in a jar of clay
The Prince of peace joined in the fray
The empathy of God
My Christ was born in Bethlehem
A stable was a throne for Him
Among the wolves came as a Lamb
The empathy of God
So, oh come, let us adore Him
The One who came to see
What it's like to walk in my shoes
And still kneeled to wash my feet
Oh come, let us adore Him
The One who came to feel
What it's like to be broken
All so I could be healed
Oh, how great the love revealed to us
In Jesus Christ, the empathy of God
My Christ was born on Christmas day
Light of the world into darkness came
The heart of the Father on full display
The empathy of God
So, oh come, let us adore Him
The One who came to see
What it's like to walk in my shoes
Still kneeled to wash my feet
Oh come, let us adore Him
The One who came to feel
What it's like to be broken
All so I could be healed
Oh, how great the love revealed to us
In Jesus Christ, the empathy of God
So, oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord
Come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord
Oh come, let us adore him
Christ, the Lord
