This Is War

This is war like you ain’t seen
This winter’s long, it’s cold and mean
With downcast hearts, we stood condemned
But the tide turns now at Bethlehem

[verse]
This is war, and born tonight
The Word as flesh, the Lord of Light
The Son of God, the lowborn King
Whom demons fear, of whom angels sing

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, a Child is born!
He is the rescue we’ve waited for
The Throne of David, He will restore
And reign with mercy forevermore

Hallelujah, a Child is born!
He is the rescue we’ve waited for
The Throne of David, He will restore
And reign with mercy forevermore

[verse]
This is war on sin and death
The dark will take its final breath
It shakes the earth, confounds all plans
The mystery of God as man
