​[Chorus - The Tender Awe Hook]
​Oh, the quiet before the King, just a mother and a child,
Every breath, every sound, so tender and mild.
The world doesn't know the mystery lying here,
But the hope of the ages is so wonderfully near!
Just a gift wrapped in perfect peace in the straw,
The infinite Creator, resting in my awe.

​[Verse 1 - The Aftermath of Birth]
The angels have gone, the stable door is closed,
The shepherds have knelt, and the silence has imposed.
I can hear my own heartbeat, and the breathing of the ox,
No throne, no palace, just a simple wooden box.
I reach out my hand, and touch His tiny face,
And wonder at the power poured out in this place.
No need for a grand sign, no need for fanfare or rush,
Just the soft, gentle feeling in the quiet hush.

​[Pre-Chorus - The Wonder]
How can the universe fit in this gentle frame?
I whisper His name, and it stills every restless flame.
My hands are holding Heaven, this truth I can’t define,
A miracle of flesh, this love that is duh vine.

​[Chorus - The Tender Awe Hook]
​Oh, the quiet before the King, just a mother and a child,
Every breath, every sound, so tender and mild.
The world doesn't know the mystery lying here,
But the hope of the ages is so wonderfully near!
Just a gift wrapped in perfect peace in the straw,
The infinite Creator, resting in my awe.

​[Verse 2 - The Promise and the Weight]
I remember the Angel, the promise that He gave,
That this small, sleeping infant was born the world to save.
It’s a weight I can’t measure, a purpose I can't know,
But His little hand grips me, and lets the worry go.
I know kingdoms will challenge, and shadows will pursue,
But tonight, in this moment, all the prophecies are true.
I kneel by the manger, and offer up my praise,
For the gentle beginning of the endless days.

​[Bridge - Devotional Focus]
The greatest gift, not wrapped in silk or gold,
But in the vulnerability that the Heavens have told.
Just peace, just peace, in the morning light,
The love of God made visible, chasing back the night.
​
​Oh, the quiet before the King, just a mother and a child,
Every breath, every sound, so tender and mild.
The world doesn't know the mystery lying here,
But the hope of the ages is so wonderfully near!
Just a gift wrapped in perfect peace in the straw,
The infinite Creator, resting in my awe.

Resting in my awe...
Wonderful peace...
(Final soft piano chord and pad decay.)
