A young couple walks through the temple door carrying salvation in their arms,
A sight for old eyes, redemption draws nigh in the guise of this little baby boy,
The prophesies are weaving together and the waiting is coming to an end,
God promised I'd see his messiah with these failing eyes before I went home, and God kept his word.

He is called "Jesus,"
Son of David, son of Joseph, son of God,
He is called "Jesus,"
The prince of peace and the holy one of Israel,
Messiah, redeemer and king,
He is called "Jesus,"
God's word made flesh for me.

They brought him to me for a blessing, with no idea of the blessing they bring,
Two doves as a ransom for their little lamb who will break their heats but redeem their souls.

He is called "Jesus,"
Son of David, son of Joseph, son of God,
He is called "Jesus,"
The prince of peace and the holy one of Israel,
Messiah, redeemer and king,
He is called "Jesus,"
God's word made flesh for me.

You can take these eyes, for I have seen your salvation,
Oh, and you can take this breath, and bring me at last into your peace,
Oh, and you can take these hands, for I've held the light of the nations and the glory of your people, Israel.

He is called "Jesus,"
Son of David, son of Joseph, son of God,
He is called "Jesus,"
The prince of peace and the holy one of Israel,
Messiah, redeemer and king,
He is called "Jesus,"
God's word made flesh for me.

He's the promise made flesh for me.
