2000 years Ago
It happened one starlit night,
two thousand years ago,
that the Lord of Love and Might,
came down to earth, gave up his right.
because he loved us so.
The shepherds shuddered at the sight,
two thousand years ago,
listened in silence , and full of fright ,
when told the news from God that night
because he loved us so
To Bethlehem they hurried off,
two thousand years ago,
and they saw the babe who was
spoken of ; laid by his mother
in a manger so rough.
because he loved us so.
The babe in the manger they saw,
two thousand years ago,
was the Christ ; and a cross he bore,
to pay in full the debt required by Law.
because he loved us so.
Place your trust in the One who died
two thousand years ago.
He rose again and wants to be your guide,
to bring you New Life this Christmastide.
because he loves you so
