Born To Rise
by Matchless Grace

Album: Born to Rise

She heard the angels proclaim,
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Rejoice, for the Son of God
Is born the Son of Man.
And as she wrapped Him in those swaddling clothes,
Did she know the reason why?
Did she know He was born to die?

Wise men came up from the east.
They were folllowing the star.
To the place where the young child laid,
They'd traveled oh so far.
And as they laid their gifts before the King,
I wonder if they cried.
Did they know He was born to die?

Born to die, to take away my sin.
Born to die, just so I could live.
Every step He took upon the earth
Was leading to the cross.

But the sacrifice You made that day
Saved my soul from loss.
Born to die so You could take my place
Born to die so I could know Your grace.

Even God the Father turned away
When he heard Your last cry.
Though He knew in only three days
The Son was gonna rise, gonna rise.

Born to rise, to take away my sin.
Born to rise, just so I could live.

It's no wonder angels proclaimed,
Peace on earth, good will to men.
For they knew the life that You laid down
Was gonna rise again.

They knew You were born to rise.
Yes they knew You were born, born to rise.
You were born to rise.
