Lyrics
Coming through the bloodline of Abraham
the ruler Gabriel sang to be born in Bethlehem
and Daniel's prophecy of restoration of Jerusalem
and Isaiah's words about Messiah coming to them
the anticipation is astounding
Global groaning, moaning generation after generation
believing in sovereignty regardless of situation
but they longed for him
almost tired of only having songs of him
and seeing little more than Davidic written Psalms of him
so humanity held its breath and placed it on the edge of its seat
where expectation and limits and fantasies meet
the anticipation is astounding
and they waited
like a caterpillar for butterfly wings
like a bridegroom for his wife to be
and the wife to be for the wedding ring
like anything for everything,
they waited with hope
hope for a king that none of them have ever seen
sent from a God whose hand is bigger than seventy seas
a king to end satan's tyrrany
to install utopia and vanquish all enemies
by differing methods to differing schools of thought
some swore that he'd rise with wars and fights he'd have fought
or political priest to pierce the pharisee's facade
or maybe even just someone to define what's right and wrong
the anticipation is astounding
under a star, the Creator beamed
he wasn't a general or war machine
or wielder of legions of thoughts and regimes
but an infant
divinely conceived by strangest means
clothed in flesh and swaddling
still God of the gods and King of the kings
and surrounded by wise men and donkeys and manger things
the amazement is astounding
The Adonai
as prophesied, he lived his life
sinless soul, the first and only snow white
radical thoughts in radical ways
he loved harlots and killers and liars and gays
with wisdom innately from Ancient of Days
truth was profuse in each word that he'd say
yet such a humble leader
call me crazy, but servility was God's demeanor
his influence is astounding
for thirty something years he never tried to hide the truth
he paid the price for you and i when he was crucified and died for you
and by "died," i mean
He died
perished, flatlined, laid low
trade swaddling for grave clothes and manger for gravestone
what happened next is astounding
three days later, our savior would rise
and by "rise," i mean
He is alive
wiping tears from eyes
lung breathing, feet seeking, hands healing, tongue speaking
Jesus said the word and death just stopped stinging
with victory over death and eternal life
this was the battle the Savior would fight
he claimed the Godhood,
He did it once and he's coming again and
remember the reason we're here to begin with
He is Immanuel, God with us.
