This Is Jesus

This is a song I heard for the first time this year. It is rare/not popular yet, so there are no youtube videos of it, etc. I bought it on iTunes, and it is fast becoming a favourite Christmas song on my playlist. This is Jesus. He has come!

Centuries passed without a sound
The prophets silenced long ago
The words of hope and joy were no where to be found

The town of David was forlorn
Isaiah's promise long forgotten
About a king who would be born
Not from man but God begotten

Then one night, a light shone in the dark
The angel Gabriel did say
The child of prophecy to Mary will be born
Whose kingdom will not pass away
Whose kingdom will not pass away

This is Jesus, He has come
Came to rescue fallen ones
This is Jesus, He has come, He has come

When the boy became a man
He stumbled to a wretched cross
He bore the curse of all that Holy wrath demands
He bled for us

He is the servant and the lamb
He is both priest and sacrifice
He is the Prophet, King, and coming Son of Man,
He is the Christ

This is Jesus, He has come
Came to rescue fallen ones
This is Jesus, He has come, He has come!

The night is over
The day has dawned
Turn to the Saviour
Do not fear

The night is over
The day has dawned
The God of Heaven has come here

This is Jesus, he has come
Came to rescue fallen ones
This is Jesus, He has come, He has come.
