Long we've lived in darkness; long is the night.
How the powerful betray us
Yet when Messiah comes,
He'll make all things right
Send Your light, o Lord, illuminate us!

CHORUS:
Christ, the Prince of Peace is born.
Christ, the King of Glory
History hinges on this baby boy.
Hallelujah! Christ is born

Strength is given us to shelter the weak.
Wealth for want is Yahweh's story
So when the spring of life pours out, full and free.
Sing hosanna for God's glory!

Forever, You, Lord, are my shepherd
You open Your home;
There's nothing I need
Lifelong, You make me lie down
Contentment and rest
You have a home made for me

Chorus:
Your justice and mercy,
They comfort me; they comfort me.
I fear no evil, no misery,
For You are with me, yes, You are with me

Hopefully some of his sheeple will see
When he hangs in shame, naked, then dead
Honor Rome, please the gods,
But look out for the frauds
Only you will get you daily bread

Chorus:
Oh, it's as plain as the sky and the rain
Oh, when you're weak you've got nothing but pain
When you're weak you've got nothing but pain

See that centurion, face full of doubt?
His privilege is weakening his soul
Mark my words, he's forgetting
The pow'r of bloodletting
Only fools give up any control

God has been at work
Through the ages, 'round the world
At its best, tradition
Is the Spirit's voice, distilled
Let us bless and cherish
What our God has revealed
Let us honor these roots together

Chorus:
Step by step, side by side
We will walk together
Hand in hand, left and right
There is just one body
In our Lord Jesus Christ
We will live as one, together
