[Intro]
From the cradle to the cross, a journey of love and grace
A King who wore compassion, not just a royal face
Born in humble shadows, yet His destiny divine
Of all the rulers of the world, His heart was love's design
[Verse 1]
He wasn't crowned with gold or jewels, but with gentle tears
His throne was humble service through the joys and fears
Between the cradle and the cross, He grew in strength and light
A shepherd to the lost, guiding them through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Tempted in the wilderness, baptized in humble streams
Anointed by the Spirit, fulfilling all His dreams
A preacher of the truth, a healer of the pain
His mission was love, and He bore all the blame
[Chorus]
Somewhere between the cradle and the cross, He found His way
A King of kings with a servant’s heart, leading souls to stay
Born in grace, baptized in love, destined to save
His story’s written in the stars, beyond the cradle and the grave
[Verse 2]
For three short years, He changed the world, a ripple in time’s stream
Teaching love and mercy in every word and dream
He touched the sick and broken, brought hope to the despair
His compassion was His crown, His humble love was rare
[Pre-Chorus]
Fasting and prayer, He faced the test,
A shepherd to the lost, in Him we’re blessed
From humble beginnings to eternal reign,
His sacrifice was love, easing every pain
[Chorus]
Somewhere between the cradle and the cross, He found His way
A King of kings with a servant’s heart, leading souls to stay
Born in grace, baptized in love, destined to save
His story’s written in the stars, beyond the cradle and the grave
[Bridge]
From a cradle in the world to the cross of grace
He’s the Savior, the Word, the Redeemer of our race
In His humility, we find our true worth
A King who served, revealing love’s true birth
[Outro]
Somewhere between the cradle and the cross, His love remains
A timeless story of mercy, of joy amidst the pain
His journey shows us how to lead with grace and spend
A life of servant-hearted truth, until the very end
