Because he obeyed
a child was born, with a name
a name above all names,
Jesus, Christ, Emmanuel
Fulfilling the scriptures, the prophesies,
because he obeyed.
He was born with a father, a mother
humbly, in a manger, in Bethlehem
because he obeyed.
He grew and learned,
and followed the law,
growing in his faith,
because he obeyed
We were saved
by the son’s sacrifice
because he obeyed
