The Sign
Holy prophets spoke Holy words as the Spirit set their hearts afire
As a nation waited for consolation God promised to fulfill their desire!
The virgin daughter of David was found to be with Child
From the Holy Spirit he was conceived holy and undefiled!
The Holy one of Israel is your redeemer
Holy and Awesome is His Name!
God has raised up His horn of salvation
And life on earth would never be the same!
Our eyes have seen salvation- redemption now draws nigh
A sign within the heavens has lit a hearkening sky
Shepherds are amazed at the announcement
And wise men are sifting through the evidence
A king is pursuing him with malice
And a baby leaps with joy in his presence
Touching an old man in the temple
Filling the lips of an old prophetess
This Holy one still touches all who seek Him
And gives us Holy words to confess.
The Holy one of Israel is your redeemer
Holy and Awesome is His Name!
God has raised up His horn of salvation
And life on earth would never be the same!
Our eyes have seen salvation- redemption now draws nigh
A sign within the heavens has lit a hearkening sky
