No one expected the angels No one expected the star No one expected that shepherds would bow Or that kings would come from afar No one knew that a child would be born In a manger filled with hay Only the Father knew His plan On that blessed Christmas day We hustle and bustle, thinking all is well As presents are piled up high We fix our great feasts and tell of good cheer While the sun rises high in sky We look at our children, all merry and bright As they open their presents with glee With great hope we look out on this beautiful day In the land of the brave and the free But in truth all around us the world’s fading fast Into a world of defeat Morality slowly is withered away And a plague fills us all with disease They speak of a cure when before there was none All around us people bow down We must sound the alarm in this worst of all times We are standing on sinking ground Our Father above sees all that transpires He knows when the time will be right That the trumpet will sound for all men to hear In the clouds His Son will arrive He will come as a thief in the night that day No one knows when is the time Just as He came on that Christmas Day Only few will be chosen to rise Are you ready for Him to appear that day? Is your heart settled in His true grace? Have you asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord? Does He receive all of your praise? On this Christmas Day give your whole life to Him All your heart and your soul and your mind Tomorrow may be too late my friend And you’ll find you’re left behind Unexpected by many He will show up Please don’t say I’ll do it next time
