In a manger of darkness and dirt There the cry of a newborn was heard The Word lived among us And He was the Light of the world The fullness of truth and grace The heart of the Father displayed Not a king with a sword But a lowly carpenter’s babe Messiah Messiah He is the promise The One that we’ve waited for Who could ever imagine a King Who would step into our suffering Royalty willing To kneel down and wash dirty feet And the truth of His Kingdom is this That the darkness is not dark to Him And He welcomes the weary To come lay their burdens on Him Messiah Messiah He is the promise The One that we’ve waited for Yeshua Our Savior He is the answer Hope for a longing world He is comfort to the lonely For the outcast the closest friend He’s the healer and redeemer Who restores us from brokenness He works justice from injustice Leading us into righteousness He is holy above all things From beginning to the end Messiah Messiah He is the promise The One that we’ve waited for Yeshua Our Savior He is the answer Hope for a longing world He is the answer Hope for a longing world
