You Came Anyway

There was no palace waiting, no gilded golden thrones
There was no royal scepter for holy hands to hold
There were only stalls of cattle and a manger filled with hay
But You came anyway

You could have stayed in heaven's glory high above this mortal clay
You were completely fully God with nothing else for You to gain
You could have surely kept Your distance, but Your love was just so great
You came anyway

There were no trumpets blaring, declaring You'd arrived
There was no crown of splendor that bleak and silent night
Just a little town with nowhere for a King like You to stay
But You came anyway

You could have stayed in Heaven's glory high above this mortal clay
You were completely fully God with nothing else for You to gain
You could have surely kept Your distance, but Your love was just so great
You came anyway

Glory, glory, glory in the highest
Hear our grateful hallelujahs rising
Peace on earth and goodwill to all men forevermore

You could have stayed in Heaven's glory high above this mortal clay
You were completely fully God with nothing else for You to gain
You could have surely kept Your distance, but Your love was just so great
You came anyway
You came anyway
You came anyway
