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!
