Something Very Special


There was something very special about that Babe in Bethlehem,
For He was the God of heaven come down to earth as man,
That He might go to Calvary to die there in man's stead.
But no earthly grave could hold Him!  He is risen from the dead!

There is something very special about every man, don't you see,
For the sovereign God who made him also died to set him free
From the curse of sin that bound him and sentenced him to hell.
That's the blessed good news that we Christians have to tell.

Yes, there's something very special about this↓ "ordinary" man,
For the God of heaven loves me, I'd have you understand,
And now I'm in His Family, for I'm washed in Jesus' blood,
And my Father up in heaven works all things for my good.
