It's on the calendar
The number of years
Since my Saviour was born

It's in the history book
The Man they call Jesus
Walked the earth

Majestic Ruler
Born in a stable
Helplessly crying in the night

King of the Heavens
Lived as a servant
Friend to the sinners
Light in the darkness

This is His story
For mankind
Written in history
For you and me

The love of a Saviour
Spelt in His blood
Spelt in blood

[Chorus]

And the angels were silent
When God Himself
Laid on the cross
For our sins

And the universe trembles
When she saw her creator
Hung by nails
To a tree

Not a saint did He die for
But a wretch like me
His nail-scarred hands
Dripping with love

And the purpose for living
In His dying breath I hear
So soft and clear
Ever more
I'll live for my Saviour
