A Fairy Tale Come True

In every heart lies deep within
     A fairy tale come true,
A glimpse of what there should have been
     When world was fresh and new.

But into Satan’s sin we fell—
     With pride we were consumed—
And chose instead our own death knell
     That brought to earth its gloom.

But Jesus down from heaven came—
     Our fairy tale come true—
For Son of God a man became
     Through Mother dressed in blue.

A fairy tale is told for us
     Incarnate in His Word
That we may enter it in trust
     And live with Christ, our Lord.

For He takes us within His life,
     A fairy tale come true:
Our sin forgiven in His light,
     Our world’s made fresh and new.
