THE CRADLE BROUGHT GLORY
Born to die a bloody death
To take my place upon the cross
Paying the price of redemption
Buying pardon to save the lost
Once came the mighty conquerer
Cradled in humble arms of youth
Bringing the hopeless freshest hope
Igniting faith in Christ the Truth
Shocked by the evil treatment
Kept by the unseen hand
Friend of the friendless immortal
Infinite became finite man
On a hill of wandering sheep
The siren calling out the sound
Blaring news fit for a King
Jesus Christ has come to town
Casting down enemy strongholds
And cutting through confusion deep
Appeared the humble immortal
Bringing life for those He would keep
Beloved's own destination
Combined to catch the scent of love
Life-giving spirit now appearing
He perfectily came from above
Breaking in to shadowed alleys
Crashing through barricaded gardens
In the realm of fallen comrades
Amongst twisted unfeeling thorns
The light unending now shining
Fighting while foes are roaming free
The answer unbending landing
Shocking unsuspecting family
Cradled in eternity past
Cast down to rewrite our story
Cutting through sin's murky mire
Caught up in shining glory
Drawing the hungry unknowing
Drowning in sin's dirt and grime
Bringing a rescue settled
Decreed before the dawn of time
Now drinking deep from the water
Now knowing mystery, all is well
No more hiding but now hidden
Freed from sin, death, and hell
And it will be so forever
Those who were formerly dead
Now safe and secure in His arms
Alive in Him the living head
And they will leap with newfound joy
They now hear the sweetest sound
All will worship at His feet
All was lost but now they're found
And He will reign forever
This cradle-born eternal Son
We do not deserve our pardon
We belong to the coming One.
