She came riding on a donkey
From many towns away 
Ready to give birth to her first child 
The ride she took was rugged
The trail sometimes was steep 
Her journey would go on for many miles

Joseph walked and held the reins
Guiding her along 
Wishing he could ease the pain she felt
When they reached their destination 
Relief did fill their souls
They sought a room to settle for the night

The innkeeper did all He could
To find for them a room 
But a stable was the only place he had
Mary's child was born that night
In a manger filled with hay 
Wrapped in rags the blessed Savior lay

Meek and mild
Mother and child
Filled all prophecy that night 
Angels praised
Shepherds gazed 
Below the star so bright

Shepherds watching flocks that night 
Were summoned by the angels
Go and see the babe in Bethlehem 
He us Savior Christ to all
Peace is what He brings
Glory be to God in the highest 

As they knelt before Him
They realized their place
As all of history would mark this day
Simple lowly shepherds 
Were called to be the ones
They were the first to bow to Him and pray 

Not the rich
Not the mighty
Not the ones in power
He calls us in humility
To worship Him this hour

Meek and mild
Mother and child
Filled all prophecy that night 
Angels praised
Shepherds gazed 
Below the star so bright

Have you seen the star
Have you bowed in awe
Have you traveled far
From your sin

Have you given gold
All the world beholds
So that you can hold
Onto Him

Has the frankincense
Cleansed you from your sin
Are you born again
A priest for Him

Has the myrrh applied
From yourself to die
Giving up your life
All for Him

Have you seen the star
Has it changed your life
Come to Jesus now
And be saved

It’s not ordinary at all
What happened that day
When heaven came down
In a manger to lay

Angels came singing
To shepherds alone
Kings came from far
As the brightest star shone

Mother and father
Had traveled so far
To find the inn full
Underneath that star

Bet both of them knew
That this special day
The Savior was born
To take sin away

Yet the kept quiet
About their sons fate
He didn’t come too soon
And He was not late

The time was just right
And today we see
That Jesus redeems
Both you and me

Let’s never forget
That extraordinary day
When heaven came down
And in a manger lay

It’s once again that time of year
When we ring out our Christmas cheer
We sing the songs of Jesus birth
Declaring Him through all the earth

Hark the Herald angels sing
Hear the bells oh hear them ring
O come oh come Emmanuel
A silent night for all to tell

Far away in manger lay
What child is this who sleeps in hay
Three great kings come from afar
Joy to the world beneath that star

We’ve heard angels from on high
Little town of Bethlehem sighs
Come all ye faithful raise your voice
Come let us adore our Lord

In all these songs we give Him praise
For He our sin has far erased
This Christmas time I hope you know
The reason for the seasons show

Let Christ be lifted high above
Tell all your friends of His great love
That He would leave His royal throne
To come to earth and die alone

Wouldn’t it have been amazing
To be there on that morn
When shepherds came to greet Him
The Savior that was born

Wouldn’t it have been amazing
To see the newborn babe
As wise men knelt before Him
Sleeping on the hay

Wonder of wonders
God’s only Son
Came down from heaven that day
We stand before Him
Lord of all time
We gratefully praise His name

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God has come down to save
King of all Kings
Lord of all Lords
Came to us as a babe

Isn’t it truly amazing
That God loved us all so much
He gave His own Son to redeem us
His blood reaches each one of us

Isn’t it truly amazing
That on this blessed Christmas day
We can sing of our precious redeemer
With hearts full of grateful praise

Wonder of wonders
God’s only Son
Came down from heaven that day
We stand before Him
Lord of all time
We gratefully praise His name

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God has come down to save
King of all Kings
Lord of all Lords
Came to us as a babe

I walk through the city and see the lights
Red, green and blue, they shine so bright
Each house is lit up in the night
All because of Christmas

Merchants are smiling as people pay
For merchandise they bought that day
They smile as people shop and play
All because of Christmas

Churches are bustling with holiday fare
Candies and cookies abundant are there
The choirs are singing their songs of cheer
All because of Christmas

Families will gather from miles away
Have not been together for many a day
They get along fine and then go their way
All because of Christmas

But Christmas is more than shopping and food
More than the lights or family viewed 
Christmas is when a baby was born
A long, long time ago

He was born in a stable that Holy night
Above shone a star of incredible light
Angels announced His birth that day
A long, long time ago

He did not come a good life to live
He came to die and to pardon our sin
Now we are free from guilt and shame
And live forever with Him

This Christmas you can enjoy the lights
The food and the family and presents all right
But please don’t forget that babe long ago
Who gave His life just for you

A little hole in heaven
Opened up that Christmas day 
When Jesus Son of God 
Came to earth as a little babe

When He left His throne above
He traveled through that hole
A host of angels followed
And one His story told

He told it to some shepherds
Out in the field that night
They trembled at the Angel
For he shone with heavenly light

He told them that a Savior
Was born in Bethlehem
The full angelic choir sang
The shepherds went to greet Him

That hole let out the brilliant light
That surged from Jesus throne
It looked as if a giant star
Above the manger shone

Three kings from far off countries
Saw the brilliant star so bright
They set off on a journey
With gifts for the promised child

Yes a little hole in heaven
Opened up that Christmas night
Through it came our Savior
Coming down to give us Light

He shone the Light from heaven
So that we could see our sin
Then He died as our redeemer
If our hearts would now repent

Open up your heart to Jesus
On this blessed Christmas day
He came down from heaven’s glory
So He could light your way

Have you seen the star
Have you bowed in awe
Have you traveled far
From your sin

Have you given gold
All the world beholds
So that you can hold
Onto Him

Has the frankincense
Cleansed you from your sin
Are you born again
A priest for Him

Has the myrrh applied
From yourself to die
Giving up your life
All for Him

Have you seen the star
Has it changed your life
Come to Jesus now
And be saved

It’s not ordinary at all
What happened that day
When heaven came down
In a manger to lay

Angels came singing
To shepherds alone
Kings came from far
As the brightest star shone

Mother and father
Had traveled so far
To find the inn full
Underneath that star

Bet both of them knew
That this special day
The Savior was born
To take sin away

Yet the kept quiet
About their sons fate
He didn’t come too soon
And He was not late

The time was just right
And today we see
That Jesus redeems
Both you and me

Let’s never forget
That extraordinary day
When heaven came down
And in a manger lay
