[V1]

You knew we needed rescued

So You left Your heavenly home

And though we didn’t know it yet

You were our only Hope 

Your holy love was greater 

And You proved it on that day 

When You were born in Bethlehem

In a stable filled with hay

[C:]

You came

The Lord of all eternity

You came

To Bethlehem and Calvary

You came

A cost so hard to comprehend

Would save this broken world from sin

You came

Oh, You came

[V2] 

You looked beyond our failures             

How far we were from you

The chasm looked too far and wide

But You knew what to do

You built a bridge of mercy

Even though you knew

That you would have to pay the price

For grace to take us through

[C:]

You came

The Lord of all eternity

You came

To Bethlehem and Calvary

You came

A cost so hard to comprehend

Would save this broken world from sin

You came, Oh, You came
