From heaven above to earth below
The Son came down full of grace and truth
To free mankind, locked in chains
Bound in sin, shut off from the light

And yet he came
He showed the way
But more than that:

He paid the price to set us free
And give us power to love and serve
Our king on high

He came to serve, not to be served
He came to give us life, we don't deserve
He didn't demand the rights that he had
As Creator of mankind and King of the Universe

But still he came
He showed the way
But more than that:

He paid the price to set us free
And give us power to love and serve
Our king on high

He went to the cross, his body bruised and torn
On his head a crown of thorns; placed for all to see
And yet he loved, the very ones
Who ridiculed and hammered in the nails

And so he came
He showed the way
But more than that:

He paid the price to set us free
And give us power to love and serve
Our king on high
