There was a story I was told,
How a King in days of old,
Would change the hearts of the meek and bold,
The King as a babe comes down

And men would seek Him on that day,
Bearing gifts from their homes to pay,
The King who in a manger lay,
The King as babe comes down

CHORUS:

A shining star for all to see,
News of men can now be free,
Peace for all eternity,
The King as a babe comes down

[Musical Bridge]

To the slave with shackles on his feet,
Who toils hard in the cold and heat,
The King as a babe comes down,

To the weak and body faint of heart,
Souls lost and torn apart,
His Light shines in the darkest dark,
The King as a babe comes down

CHORUS

He comes to comfort those who've cried,
Know your plea hasn't been denied,
For you the stone was rolled aside,
The King as a babe comes down

He comes to do His perfect will,
Comes to die on Calvery's hill,
But leave and find Salvation still,
The King as a babe comes down.

Chorus
