Why God Sent Down His Son
Why did God send down His beloved Son
Down from Heaven above?
To die on the cross when His work was done
He did it because of His love
God looked down on a sinful earth
Where people had somehow gone astray
It was for them He created the miracle birth
Of a Saviour to show them the way
God sent down His Son with one purpose in mind
To take upon Himself the burden of our sin
To those who would believe and reach out to find
That we could be born once again
