Dead and defeated
Our souls were cast down
Trapped in Adam’s cycle
With curse in place of crown
Unable to rise above
All those that have gone before
It seems our quest is futile
We have already lost the war
Happy and content
Many seem to be
To remain in woeful ignorance
Of what was designed for me
To know the Holy Sovereign
This was humanity’s call
Living in his lasting love
From this we did fall
Weak and unable
To climb above the rest
No works that we can offer
Can give us what is best
But Christmas an exception
At this happy time of year
We remember how the wayward
To Him may draw near
He came with what we lacked
To offer pure hands
A blessed substitution
To fulfill the Law’s demands
He came to be forsaken
By the very world he built
To face our execution
To take away our guilt
He loved what we had hated
He spoke truth instead of lies
He lived for what matters
A perfect sacrifice
Dying and rising
Descending to ascend
His purpose to remove
What would Heaven offend
Down he came at Christmas
So we could rise above
He took our life and death
So we could know Eternal love
Changed By Glory
