The virgin bore a son, as prophets said
The Holy Chosen One, Emmanuel
His entrance to the world – a battle cry
For God became a man, yet still divine
In time eternal past the Father spoke
Creation answered back and morning broke
And through the ages since new stars would rise
For all the universe is found in one baby’s eyes
They called him Prince of Peace and war began
All fate and destiny was in his hand
For God was pleased to have all fullness dwell
In him who was the baby named Emmanuel
He is the image of the living God
The very essence of the Holy One
And as the Darkness schemed to end his life
The fate of all humanity was in his eyes
The Darkness had its way and struck him down
He rose victorious and claimed his crown
Now seated high enthroned in realms above
He reigns over all the universe in the power of love
