I.O.U. Lyrics

A decree went out, from Caesar Augustus
Caesar Augustus issued a proclamation to register all the people in the world without any discussion

Register the whole world they ain't have no time to discuss this
The authorities wanted to register everyone and did not give people a chance to talk about it

Joseph had to leave his hometown Nazareth
Joseph was compelled to leave his hometown Nazareth

To make it back to Bethlehem they had to rest
To reach Bethlehem, they took a break during the journey

In the City of David, the Savior's birth
In the City of David, the Son of God was born

Through Mary the Virgin this day on earth
Mary the Virgin gave birth to the Savior on this day

Would never be forgotten, the begotten the God Man
The birth of the Son of God, who was also human, would never be forgotten

Shepherds and Angels worshipping the Lamb saying
The shepherds and angels were adoring the Lamb and saying

Glory to God is what the angels sing
The angels were singing about the glory of God

Christ the Lord, the new born King
The newborn King was Christ the Lord

Come adore on bended knee
Come and worship humbly on bended knee

He came to earth as prophesied, and took death for men so that men won't die
The Son of God came to earth as foretold and gave his life to save men from dying

Peace on earth, and good tidings
There was peace on earth and good news

The cross of Christ to set us free, connecting men to heaven now we've been redeemed
The crucifixion of Jesus freed us and reconnected us with heaven, and we have now been saved

See the baby in the manger taken for purification
The infant in the crib was taken for purification according to the laws of God for the people of Israel

According God's law for the Israelite nation
This was done in accordance with the laws God put in place for the Israelite nation

Simeon in the Spirit given the confirmation
Simeon, inspired by the Spirit, confirmed the baby's identity

The Baby was the promised one a light of revelation
This infant was the promised one, who would be the light of the world and reveal the truth

Daily he was growing in stature and in wisdom
The child was growing and developing every day, both physically and intellectually

Found him in his Father's house when had went missin
Jesus was discovered in his Father's house when he went missing

Made it clear that he was all about his Father's business
He made it crystal clear that his Father's affairs were his top priority

All praise to God Christ accomplished his mission
Let us give praises to God since Christ has accomplished his mission

Glory to God the King is born, The Law's fulfilled the veil is torn
Let's celebrate the birth of the King with glory, since he fulfilled the law and the veil was torn

God with us Immanuel
God is with us, as in the prophecy of Immanuel

The Sovereign Lord of all and he'll never fail
He is the supreme ruler of all and will never fail

Been redeemed
Our redemption has happened

Set us free
Jesus has freed us
