In the blink of an eye
A baby is born
Fat and round and jolly
Gazing wide eyed
Wonders abound
A world so strange and new

In the blink of an eye
The baby has grown
A youth tall and slender
Wisdom shines forth
From eyes so bright
And words of learning
Burst from His lips

In the blink of an eye
The youth has grown
A man strong and sturdy
A man tempted, a man tormented
Walking straight and true
A master, a servant
Healing in His hands

In the blink of an eye
The man is hung
Nailed upon a cross
Weary, tortured
Mocked and abused
All sin upon His head

In the blink of an eye
The man is dead
Died for you and me
Took all our sins
Gave us peace
Life eternally

In the blink of an eye
He arose again
Death unable to triumph
Love in His hands
Love in His words
Resurrection life eternal

In the blink of an eye
The day will come
Before Him we shall stand
Blessed be He
Holy be He
The word eternal
