He Lives!

He Lives!

He's Come!  The Shepherds shouted out.
    Come! Let's go!  Let us follow now the star.
And off they go, to see what it's about.
    Where?  Oh where?  Wise men question from afar.

The star, it leads, those who follow to the Babe.
    The shepherds come, to worship in the night.
It comes to rest, o'er the stable where He lays.
    The wise men look, but are too far to reach the site.

The Babe is sent, out of Bethlehem one night.
    He must go, to save, for us, His life.
He goes, the wise men follow by the light.
    To give Him gifts, as He gives us eternal life.

He grows, and learns, grace by grace into a man.
    He teaches all, that they must come and follow Him.
He dies for us.  He suffers for the sins of man.
    He lives again, that we too can come be with Him.

He lives!  He lives!  The prophets say today.
    Come! Let's go!  Let us follow where they lead.
We come, we follow, like the shepherds on their way.
    To the Babe, the Man whose life was for our need.
