From the high and holy
To a manger lowly
The greatest mystery the world has ever known
How You left Your majesty
To embrace humanity
It awes and humbles me
To be loved by a God so high
What can I do but thank You
What can I do but give my life to You
Hallelujah hallelujah
What can I do but praise You
Every day make ev’rything I do
A hallelujah
A hallelujah
Hallelujah
To the least and lowest
You became as one with us
In our grief and brokenness you suffered by our side
From a cradle to the cross
Rising up victorious
The messiah Jesus
Born to us on that holy night
