Here Is Our Christ - Chris August

There’s a star up in the Western sky

It hangs above our only hope for life

A baby born to be the saving Christ

There is a star up in the Western sky

Saying, «Come, your Lord is here»

Written lifetimes ago

Saying You would arrive

Now You’re here to fill what that prophesied

The Creator and the Maker

Somehow sleeping in a manger

Was written on paper

Now here is our Christ

There’s a baby sleeping down the road

Wrapped up inside where the shepherds go

One day He will take what the world was owed

There is a baby sleeping down the road

Come, Lord Jesus, come

Written lifetimes ago

Saying You would arrive

Now You’re here to fill what that prophesied

The Creator and the Maker

Somehow sleeping in a manger

Was written on paper

Now here is our Christ

No room for a baby

We pushed You away

Now all these years later

And not much has changed

But Lord there is mercy

Because what You’ve done

And there in that stable

Is how it begun

Written lifetimes ago (Lifetimes ago)

Saying You would arrive

Now You’re here to fill what that prophesied

The Creator and the Maker

Somehow sleeping in a manger

Was written on paper

Now here is our Christ

Written lifetimes ago

Saying You would arrive

Now You’re here to fill what that prophesied

The Creator and the Maker

Somehow sleeping in a manger

Was written on paper

Now here is our Christ

Here is our Savior

Here is our Christ
