The Gray Havens - City of David

Copied!

{Verse 1: Dave Radford}
City of David, star in the sky
No more room, nothin' but a stable left tonight
So they laid Him down in a well-worn trough
Son of God, high call, the walk

{Chorus: Dave Radford}
The Father sends Him down
The Father sends Him down
The Savior of the world with us now

{Verse 2: Dave Radford}
The angels proclaim, to the shepherd guard
"Here at last, good news, great joy, bright light, the Morning Star
Emmanuel, behold the Lamb, behold the King
Glory, glory, glory, justice, mercy, does He bring"

{Chorus: Dave Radford}
The Father sends Him down
The Father sends Him down
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world with us now

{Verse 3: Dave Radford & Licia Radford}
And the angels sing, to the shepherd guard
"All hail the King, the Morning Star, Emmanuel
God with us, He is the Savior, hallelujah
The world rejoice, all lost and found
And the newborn child, come join the sound"

{Chorus: Dave Radford}
The Father sends Him down
The Father sends Him down
The Father sends Him down
The Father sends Him down
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world with us now

edit bio

The Gray Havens is a husband/wife duo made up of Dave and Licia Radford. The band’s name itself is a reference to the mythical seaport found in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series where ships sail away to a far country. Since their beginning in 2013, The Gray Havens' projects have been hailed as “an imaginative treatment of faith…[having] a visionary quality that’s both playful and enraptured.” They have a knack for creating a listening experience similar to paging through your favorite book, with richly textured compositions and multi-layered lyrics.
