Just over 2,000 years ago, a plan was compiled
When our Heavenly Father introduced life's saving force
For a Heavenly King, became a child meek and lowly
To perfect sin's atonement, God's only son was the source

So from the Mountains of Glory, came life's greatest story
An animal stall became the place of the greatest King's birth
The bright star was shining, the Angels were singing
On that night, when Heaven came down to earth

The chosen virgin Mother, heeded the words of an angel
When she was told she would bring forth a Son
Who would save the whole world from sin's ugly stains
Her son was the promised Messiah, the Anointed One

I wonder if she knew from the beginning the pain He'd go thru
And the priceless treasure her Son would prove worth
Bitter tears fell, when she learned the death he would die
Great pain to endure, when Heaven came down to earth

The child waxed strong and grew into a great man
He ministered to the sick and oppressed and the lonely and sad
But doing the will of His Father, was His whole heart's desire
Completing His mission, would make His Father's heart glad

So, willingly He offered His life, to redeem our lost souls
His blood was required for mankind's rebirth
So, guiltless He died for your sins and mine
How loving our God, when Heaven came down to earth
