A special one-off original song by Zach James and Timothy Zieger. A gift for 2020's Advent season.
lyrics
VERSE 1
To a world which held power as a value
And held wealth as the mark of human worth
Came the Christ as a baby in a manger
Whose coming birth was first spoken to a shepherd
CHORUS
Have the mind that we see in Jesus Christ
Who would stand / with the sinners, not the saints
With the lonely and the hard to love, the ones with none to give
God is near the brokenhearted
VERSE 2
From a voice which had called light out of darkness
And a hand which had raised up every mountain
Came a call just as quiet as a whisper
An embrace just as yielding as a mother
VERSE 3
On a cross that was fashioned for the guilty
Hung a man who had broken not a bruised reed
Who in pain wouldn’t curse the ones who broke him
But instead asked his father to forgive them
