Kim Hopper - Love Came Gently Lyrics

Love came gently, soft as a baby
Born to a lowly virgin girl
Wrapped in rags and laid in a manger
Love came gently to our world

Only shepherds and the wisest
Found Him beneath the star so bright
While the nations lay deep in slumber
Love came gently in the night

No applause, no fanfare of trumpets
Heralding hope had come to Earth
For the promise tenderly entered
Choosing instead a humble birth

Love came gently, sweetly to save us
Knowing the price He'd have to pay
And to all who trust in the Savior
Love comes gently still today
