V1
The story starts in Bethlehem
On a not-so-silent night
People filled the busy streets
Cuz a census had arrived
Then angels sent the shepherds
To Mary’s little lamb
And everything that happened
Was part of Heaven’s plan ….

God became a baby
On a simple manger bed
The God of all creation
Was taking His first breath
A gift wrapped up in mercy
In a tiny baby’s cry…
Christmas always begins…
With Christ
V2
Oh He’s the One we celebrate
And the reason for it all
God with us, Emmanuel
In a lowly cattle stall
Let every heart make room for Him
The Savior who forgives
His story in the stable
Reminds us all of this
BR (existing melody, and/or your own melody)
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
