In Jacob's house a star did
rise- a scepter out of Israel
One who redeems and
sanctifies- just as the prophets
did foretell.
Sacrifices did not reconcile God's righteousness
and peace
They only pointed to this
child in whom we find release.
He came to be ourr savior- our ark and covenant
He came to bestow favor no one save him may grant.
For holiness demands a price for God and man to meet
A pure and final sacrifice laid on the mercy seat.
Under the wings of cherubim
God's Glory dwelt in love
Now Glory fully dwells in Him
who we're made in the image of.
For in this baby is the place
where atonement and truth meet-
A Savior born to be embraced
is now our mercy seat...
May you fully experience the
Joy of the Lord this Christmas
