You Came Anyway Lyrics

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
