Heaven Came Near

[Verse 1]
In a stable where the wind blows cold
A promise written long ago unfolds
Wrapped in cloth, so fragile, so small
The voice that spoke the stars began it all

[Verse 2]
Kings and shepherds bow the same
Angels singing out His name
What the prophets longed to see
Heaven holding history

[Chorus]
Oh, the weight of every tear we've cried
Every wrong, every broken heart inside
Resting on a newborn's breath tonight
In a manger burns the only light
God in skin, the gift nobody earned
All creation waiting for its turn
The answer to our longing finally here
A child carried heaven, heaven came near

[Verse 3]
Such a wonder we can't understand
Infinite mercy in those tiny hands
The distance closed that we could never cross
The finder of the forever lost

[Chorus]
Oh, the weight of every tear we've cried
Every wrong, every broken heart inside
Resting on a newborn's breath tonight
In a manger burns the only light
God in skin, the gift nobody earned
All creation waiting for its turn
The answer to our longing finally here
A child carried heaven, heaven came near

[Bridge]
Before the nails, before the thorns
Before the sky went dark that morn
It started here with lullabies
The rescue in a mother's eyes

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the weight of every tear we've cried
Every wrong, every broken heart inside
Resting on a newborn's breath tonight
In a manger burns the only light
God in skin, the gift nobody earned
All creation waiting for its turn
The answer to our longing finally here
A child carried heaven
A child carried heaven
Heaven came near

[Outro]
Heaven came near
Heaven came near
