City of David

From the city of David
Out of the house of bread (Bethlehem)
Comes the One who proceeds forth from the Godhead
Born in a manger
During a time of great danger
To Egypt He fled
Because Herod wanted every Hebrew male child dead
Out of Egypt the LORD called His Son
His holy and anointed One
To Nazareth in Galilee He went
So that the words of the prophets
"He shall be called a Nazarene"
Would come to fulfillment
With signs and wonders bearing witness to His name
They did not recognize Him when He came
"No prophet has risen out of Galilee"
But Jonah and Nahum came from the region by the sea
Blessed is the Man from the region by the sea
The second person of the Trinity
Who holds the keys to Death and Hades
Bow to the Ranger from the North, the One who can traverse the Gap
He has been given power to take His own life back
