Oh, what innocence
Sleeping in a manger
Under dreamless skies
See the newborn king
Trading every glory
For a silent night
Here is the promise we have waited for
He will not leave us in the dark
He will bear our weight
He will wear our shame
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Jesus Christ, law of love and light
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Veiled deity
Praise of every angel
Shepherds bowing low
Sweet humility
Mercy as a baby
God in flesh and bone
Here is the promise we have waited for
He will not leave us in the dark
He will bear our weight
He will wear our shame
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Jesus Christ, law of love and light
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Behold the Savior
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Here is the promise we have waited for
He will not leave us in the dark
Here is the promise we have waited for
The cry of every searching heart
He will bear our weight
He will wear our shame
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Jesus Christ, law of love and light
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Come lift Him high, behold the Savior
Behold the Savior
