It was leading up to Christmas and I was struck again by how amazing God-becoming-man really was. How He chose to come as a helpless baby, not in great pomp and ceremony, but born to a humble family. Not born in a castle or palace surrounded by finery but in a barn filled with smelly animals.
I was also struck by how many in our society (UK) have not actually heard the gospel. What do they actually know about this amazing baby born to become a man – the saviour of the world? How much of God’s amazing salvation plan do they actually know? This led to the idea of asking the question which starts the song – ‘Have you heard?’ The rest of the song then endeavours to explain who Jesus is and why He is so important for us all.
Have You Heard?
CCLI Number: 7127389
VERSE 1
Have you heard
The greatest story ever told
Of the boy
Who was born so long ago
In a stable on a starry night
Have you heard?
VERSE 2
Did you know
That God so loved the world
He sent his son
To be born that helpless child
To forgive and take away our sin
Did you know?
CHORUS
O come let us adore him
O come let us bow down
O come let us worship
Jesus Christ, Son of the living God
VERSE 3
So let us come
To worship and adore
Jesus the Christ
Who grew to be a man
Who was born to die that we might live
Let us come
