See The Man is from EMU Music’s 2008 album Advent.
Trevor Hodge’s lyrics and melody proclaim truth steadily in the verses and soaringly in the chorus.
The lyrics:
1.
See the man formed by the Father’s hand
Dust turned to flesh, filled with his breath in the image of God
Loved and blessed, given the very best
Destined to rule, fill and subdue all of the earth
But death entered the day he ate from the tree
Condemned all of mankind to follow his lead
But one day a man will come and undo what we had done
One day a Saviour will return
2.
See the man leaving his Father’s land
Sent by the Lord, journeys towards a promised place
By his faith would come a nation great
In numbers surpassed, all of the stars shining in space
His name would be renowned from the east to the west
And all people on earth through him would be blessed
And one day a man will come to finish what had begun
One day a Saviour would return
3.
See the man come from his Father’s side
His word become flesh and all his fullness dwelling in him
God’s delight speaking the words of life
The kingdom’s revealed, the broken are healed, the blind given sight
And for all history’s sin the righteous is slain
By his blood death is destroyed, he’s risen again
And soon he will come again and then forever reign
One day our Saviour will return
