About this Hymn
Using a direct quote from Galatians 4:4, this hymn explores the indescribable "holy moment" in time when God became a man. The Great I Am, who dwells outside of space and time, stepped inside of his creation, in the person of Jesus, to save it. The song ends with a new setting of "Holy, Holy, Holy" that captures the transcendent nature of the incarnation. – Keith Getty
Lyrics
Verse 1
In the fullness of time, God sent his Son; Immanuel, now behold incarnate love. A virgin and her Child; a Savior meek and mild. The star became the sign in the fullness of time.
Chorus
Holy, holy, holy moment; God has come to dwell with us. Glory to the Lamb, the great I AM who came on that night divine; in the fullness of time.
Verse 2
Prophets long they foretold the promised dawn; hail God of God, Light of Light, begotten one. By whom all things were made, there in a manger laid; now born to us this night, in the fullness of time.
Verse 3
Hosts of angels resounded at his birth and hosts of angels will endless tell his worth. And he shall come again; his kingdom has no end. All things made new, made right in the fullness of time.
In the fullness of time, God sent his Son; Immanuel, now behold incarnate love. A virgin and her Child; a Savior meek and mild. The star became the sign in the fullness of time.
