There's a star up in the Western sky It hangs above our only hope for life A baby born to be the saving Christ There is a star up in the Western sky Saying, "Come, your Lord is here" Written lifetimes ago Saying You would arrive Now You're here to fill what that prophesied The Creator and the Maker Somehow sleeping in a manger Was written on paper Now here is our Christ There's a baby sleeping down the road Wrapped up inside where the shepherds go One day He will take what the world was owed There is a baby sleeping down the road Come, Lord Jesus, come Written lifetimes ago Saying You would arrive Now You're here to fill what that prophesied The Creator and the Maker Somehow sleeping in a manger Was written on paper Now here is our Christ No room for a baby We pushed You away Now all these years later And not much has changed But Lord there is mercy Because what You've done And there in that stable Is how it begun Written lifetimes ago (Lifetimes ago) Saying You would arrive Now You're here to fill what that prophesied The Creator and the Maker Somehow sleeping in a manger Was written on paper Now here is our Christ Written lifetimes ago Saying You would arrive Now You're here to fill what that prophesied The Creator and the Maker Somehow sleeping in a manger Was written on paper Now here is our Christ Here is our Savior Here is our Christ
