Long awaited precious promise
Son of God and son of man
Heaven's glory in a manger
Has come to us in Bethlehem
Messiah
Messiah
Baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
All we longed for, all we needed
Shining in this child's eyes
Hope forever, death defeated
Because of this one holy night
Messiah
Messiah
Baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Long awaited precious promise
Coming back again
Messiah

Baby born to save us all
Messiah
Messiah
On our knees we fall
On our knees we fall
