Because He Came For Us

Verse 1

Word of God, in flesh appearing
Heaven held and swaddled here
Angels gather, all declaring:
Jesus Christ the Lord

Verse 2

Humble Servant, walking with us
Teaching mercy, showing grace
He invites us in His footsteps
Jesus Christ the Lord

Because He came for us, and died for us
Then rose to life victorious
Now we live in Him, and will again
Forevermore amen

Verse 3

Light of Life, in heavy darkness
Bows His head and breathes His last
Slain for us and our salvation
Jesus Christ the Lord

Verse 4

Morning dawns, the tomb is empty
Mourning fades, the curse is gone
Lift your gaze for He is risen
Jesus Christ the Lord

Chorus 2

Because He came for us, and died for us
Then rose to life victorious
Now we live in Him, and will again
Forevermore amen

The glory is Yours
The power is Yours
Forever adore
Jesus Christ the Lord

Coming King, our world is aching
For the skies to break again
We are gathered, all declaring
