[Verse]      
In the fCirst light of a Amnew day no one kFnew he Ghad arriCved
Things conCtinued as they Amhad been while a nFewborn sGoftly cCried
But the hAmeavens wrapped in wGonder knew the mFeaning of his Gbirth
In the wAmeakness of a bGaby they knew GFod had cGome to eCarth
[Verse]
As his mCother held him cAmlosely it was hFard to GunderstaCnd
That her bCaby, not yet sAmpeaking, was the wFord of GGod to mCan
He would tAmell them of his kiGngdom but their hFearts would not beGlieve
They would hAmate him and in aGnger they would nFail him Gto a tCree
[Verse]
BuCt the sadness woAmuld be broken as the sGong of Clife arose
And the fCirstborn of cAmreation would aFscend and tGake his tChrone
He had lAmeft it to rGedeem us but bFefore his life bGegan
He knew he?d cAmome back, not as a bGaby, but as the LFord of eGvery mCan
[Verse]
HeaCr the angels as tAmhey?re singing Fon the Gmorning Cof his birth
But how much gCreater will their sAmong be when he cFomes again to eCarth
Hear the aAmngels as they?re sGinging on the mForning of his Gbirth
But how much grAmeater will their sGong be when he cFomes to rGule the C

[Verse]

C Am F G C

In the first light of a new day no one knew he had arrived

C Am F G C

Things continued as they had been while a newborn softly cried

Am G F G

But the heavens wrapped in wonder knew the meaning of his birth

Am G F G C

In the weakness of a baby they knew God had come to earth

[Verse]

C Am F G C

As his mother held him closely it was hard to understand

C Am F G C

That her baby, not yet speaking, was the word of God to man

Am G F G

He would tell them of his kingdom but their hearts would not believe

Am G F G C

They would hate him and in anger they would nail him to a tree

[Verse]

C Am G C

But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose

C Am F G C

And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take his throne

Am G F G

He had left it to redeem us but before his life began

Am G F G C

He knew he?d come back, not as a baby, but as the Lord of every man

[Verse]

C Am F G C

Hear the angels as they?re singing on the morning of his birth

C Am F C

But how much greater will their song be when he comes again to earth

Am G F G

Hear the angels as they?re singing on the morning of his birth

Am G F G C

But how much greater will their song be when he comes to rule the

earth!
