The Child Who Knew the Light

[Verse 1] This story has been told to me, From ancient days of old, A tale about a newborn King, In a manger, dark and cold. He came with nothing but His spirit, And a wisdom pure and bright, No silver crown, no royal robes, Just a star to guide the night. [Chorus] So raise your cups, my friends, tonight, For the child, embeds the light Through frost and flame, through grief and cheer, He will take the crown, He knew no fear. [Verse 2] The shepherds said, “This child is Lord, A King without a throne, He’ll heal the weak, forgive the lost, And make the world His own.” “But what if He already knew What His path would one day be The joy, the burden, sacrifice, The cross, the crown, the victory?” [Chorus] So raise your cups, my friends, tonight, For the child, embeds the light Through frost and flame, through grief and cheer, He will take the crown, He knew no fear. [Verse 3] He rested safe in Mary’s arms, Yet His eyes seemed far ahead, Through desert winds and stormy years, He’d walk where angels tread. By the sea of wounded hearts, Where sorrow ebbs and flows, He would play His song of mercy, Bringing hope to those He knows. [Verse 4] The final task, the hardest road A world in need of grace, Yet He would go without a sword, With peace upon His face. The angels sang, the heavens bowed, All creation stood in awe, For love and truth and boundless light Fulfilled the ancient law. [Final Chorus] So raise your cups, my friends, tonight, To tales of love and Heaven’s might, For every soul that dares to dream, Will find the hope this child redeems. [Outro] And if you hear the winter wind Whisper through the dome, Remember well this holy child Who came to lead us home.
