Christ

OH, HOW HIS HUMILITY SHOWS

Folder: 
Christmas songs

 

VERSE 1:

 

D                           A

It was just another quiet night

A7                          G

we were simply just watching our sheep.

G                          A

There was nothing unusual in sight.

A7                                      G

My brother might have been half asleep

A

Suddenly, we felt a strange wind

D

And there, before us, stood an angel

G                                     A

Shivers, down my spine, it did send

G                           Em7

And upon our faces, we surely fell.

A

Then

 

CHORUS:

 

A

We heard the heavenly cryer

D                          A

as he spoke of the Messiah.

A7                                  A

For, unto you, this day in Bethlehem

E7                    A

is born a savior. You will find Him

D

wrapped in swaddling clothes

A                        D

lying in a manger, in a lowly manger.

A                          D

Oh, how His humility shows!

 

VERSE 2:

 

Suddenly, there was with the angel

a multitude of Heavenly Hosts

praising God. Grace, their song did foretell.

Then, suddenly abandoned, were their posts

we were all alone, once again.

We rushed to the town of Bethlehem

searching for the One God did send.

We surely had to find Him.

'Cuz

 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

 

VERSE 3:

 

We found the child and His virgin mother

along with Joseph in a stable

There has never been another

Child such as this. He is truly able

To bring salvation to all who

to all who believe on Him.

In our hearts, we know this is true.

Our faith will never grow dim.

'Cuz

 

(REPEAT CHORUS 3 Xs)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Our Savior came into this world as a humble child, born in the most humble circumstances and demostrated humility throughout His entire earthly life.  He was God made manifest in the flesh, yet He humbled himself in every way.  Then in the ultimate act of Humility, He freely gave His life for our sins and rose again on the third day, defeating sin and death for all time.  He offers grace, salvation, and eternal life to all who will humble themselves and accept the free gift He offers.  Let us not forget the greatest gift ever given was when God sent His only Begotten Son to die for our sins.

My sin once defined me,

VERSE 2:

 

Jesus Christ died in my place

To impart, to me, Holy Grace.

Oh, how Jesus Christ died in my place!

To sin, I am now dead.

Upon a rugged cross, He bled

and there, He so humbly said

“Father, forgive them”

To impart, to us, His holy grace;

He prayed, “Father, forgive them.”

So let us glorify His name.

In Your grace. Be my defender

in this battle I daily face.
