Saviour Lyrics

Saviour lyrics

A decree went out from Caesar 

   Let the people be numbered 

 Each in the town of his birth 

   Let the people obey 

 A young couple came 

   To the city of David 

 She gave birth to the Son of the Lord 

   In a manger He lay 

 

 Jesus of Nazareth 

 God's only Son 

 He gave his life as our Saviour 

 Our lives have only begun 

 

 The Son of God; the Son of man 

   Christ Messiah 

 Miracles flowed from His hands 

   But His message was love 

 He chose twelve from thousands 

   To witness His teaching 

 For He knew that He soon must return 

   To His Father above 

 

 Thirty pieces of silver 

   And Judas betrayed Him 

 They crcuified Christ on a cross 

   Where everybody could see 

 He died to pay for our sin 

   And our salvation is free know 

 "Eternal life is God's gift to the world 

   If you believe in Me
