Carols, all too familiar,
maybe tunes to hum along;
amidst the bustle they were just
simply Christmas songs.
Words I'd never pondered,
though I'd sung them so many years,
now have filled my heart with joy
as one by one you remove my fears.
Now I know that you'll be there
when doubt tries to steal my hope away.
You'll re-mind me, even in my struggles,
this unchanging truth remains:
"I came to you, was born for you
because I knew I loved you so much,
I'd rather die than be without you."
Thoughts of the incarnation,
how You "laid Your glory by",
how you left the singing angels
to be brought into our night,
bring this question to my mind,
takes me down upon my knees,
"How can it be so hard to trust
the one who left highest heav'n for me?".
Now I know that you'll be there
when doubt tries to steal my hope away.
You'll re-mind me, even in my struggles,
this unchanging truth remains:
"I came to you, was born for you
because I knew I loved you so much,
I'd rather die than be without you."
"I came to you, I lived for you -
believe it's true - I loved you so much,
I'd rather die than stay without you, without you."
