Born For Us
Christ was born for our sake And came down from heaven above To save us and heal every ache As a glorious expression of His everlasting love
O Holy Virgin Mary You bore to us the Son of Man Clothed with glorious divinity To fulfil his earthly plan
He humbled himself in a small manger And chose to be born of the Virgin Mary Christ spread his wings to protect us from danger And the miracles He performed on earth did vary
Christ’s incarnation gave us light He was the shepherd guidingHis sheep You set an example to us so bright And taught us how to have a relationship with you so deep
The true bread of life descended In the pure virgin’s womb Without change He was incarnate To rescue His children from sin and doom
