Prophecy Was Made

Ancient prophecy was made
Then generations passed
To faithful hearts a promise lay
With signs for eyes to cast

A virgin birth
For one named Mary
She come to earth
God's son... to carry

Meanwhile... atrocities and war
Bondage.... Babylon, Egypt, Greece, then Rome
Conquered again and again...who was favored?
Then...He came... obscure and unknown

With His life
Came rebirth
Jesus Christ
Brought us new worth

Perfectly He led
Healed and discoursed
Spiritually He fed
As His life ran its course
