I am sure that the angel were stunned
To see the throne empty that day
When the Son of God came down from heaven
And became a mere mortal babe

He created all things by His power
He provided all things man would need
But now in His greatest assignment
He came down to die on a tree

CHORUS
Don’t take the cross out of Christmas
He died on a tree meant for me
Don’t take the cross out of Christmas
It was there that He set me free

I cannot understand His mercy
Nor the thought of His amazing grace
They were offered when He came from heaven
To be nailed to a cross in my place

CHORUS

BRIDGE
His story was from the beginning
The blood of the Lamb must be shed
He suffered and died
As my sacrifice
Now I’ll praise Him with all of my breath

CHORUS
