Big Daddy Weave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The birth of Messiah has been long foretold
That unto you, now unto you
Christ is come, let all creation sing
God's own son, oh hail the newborn King
The word made flesh now dwells among us
Christ is come
Those born in darkness have seen a great light
The Redeemer of our hearts has been born this night
Now unto you, unto you
Christ is come, let all creation sing
God's own son, oh, hail the newborn King
The word made flesh now dwells among us
Christ is come
Prince of Peace, Yeshua, Messiah, the Son of Man
Holy One, King of kings, Lord of lords, the Great I Am
Comforter, Counselor, Author and Finisher
Divine Truth Revealer, Deliverer, Healer
You, our God, Jesus, You, our God
Christ is come, let all creation sing
God's own son, oh, hail the newborn King
The word made flesh, now dwells among us
Christ is come, Christ is come
The song "Christ Is Come" by Big Daddy Weave (Holiday) is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ as prophesied in the Old Testament. The opening line refers to the centuries-old prophecies about the birth of the Messiah, which have finally come to pass. The chorus is an invitation to all of creation to join in the celebration of the birth of God's own son, the newborn King. The second verse speaks of how the birth of Christ has brought light to those who were once in darkness and how he has redeemed our hearts. The third verse functions as a declaration of faith, listing off some of the names and titles given to Jesus, before reiterating the chorus and the central message of the song: Christ is come.
