Intro

 

Verse 1

It was a night just like this
When a single star chose to shine
Over all mankind
Like heaven's kiss night just like this
When a holy God chose to climb
To the dirt and grime
Of earth's abyss 

Chorus 1

And just like that
Nothing will ever be the same
And just like that
Love has flesh; it has a face, a name
A boy called Jesus
Was born to us    

Verse 2

It was a night just like this
When a pregnant girl chose to ride
To the other side
Of the world she knew  

It was a night just like this
When a shepherd boy chose to tell
Of Immanuel
To the world he knew 
(To chorus)

Chorus 2

And just like that
Nothing will ever be the same
And just like that
Love has flesh; it has a face, a name
A boy called Jesus
Was born to us

Bridge

Choose to see
This Jesus not just as a helpless baby
But as the word of truth 
Choose to see
This Jesus nailed upon a cross of agony
See his love breaking through
Choose to see
This Jesus crowned with crowns of
Grace and Majesty
For he has chosen you
(To final chorus)

Chorus 3

And just like that
Nothing will ever be the same
And just like that
Love has flesh; it has a face, a name
A boy called Jesus
A man called Jesus
A king called Jesus
Was born to us
