In a land far away
Time stood still, long ago
There were shepherds in fields
Or at least this is how the story goes
The story goes

Woman with child
And an inn with no room
Born in a manger for telling it tomb
This is how the story goes

But it is more than a fable
And it's more than a fairytale
And more than my mind can conceive

I believe
The wise man saw
The baby boy, the angels called the son of God
Heaven's Child
The great I am
Born to take away my sins through nailed pierced hands
Emmanuel has come
I believe

Two thousand years still the story lives on
God's gift to us sent to earth, wrapped in flesh
His only son, His only son
And the heartbeat of heaven confounded our wisdom
But it's still the simple truth that sets me free

I believe
The wise man saw
The baby boy, the angels called the son of God
Heaven's Child
The great I am
Born to take away my sins through nailed pierced hands
Emmanuel has come
And I believe

Precious Child How can it be that
God's great plan for history
Would send you to the lonely tree
That You would come for one like me

I believe in a cross
I believe He came for one, He came for all
Heavens Child became a man
Gave his life for me in spite of all I am
I believe
I believe
Oh, I believe

Christmas lives in me
I believe
