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
When I sit back and look at Christmas
And all that it means to me
I am filled with awe and wonder
At the lessons that this day brings
As a babe in a manger, He showed me
That humility is first in my life
There is nothing more important
Then putting others first every time
Mary and Joseph knew all things
But they did not speak a word
His teaches me I must just show Him
And let the Spirit do the work
The star up above that announced Him
Taught me that I must be a light
If I shine bright enough to others
They will come to His manger side
I innkeeper who had no room
Shows there are many who will not take time
To recognize Jesus is knocking
At the door of their heart and mind
This gives me a reason to show them
The place in my heart He holds
And perhaps they will just make room
For the one who can make them whole
The shepherds who came to that manger
Saw a baby like any other child
He did not appear to be a Savior
But someone whose meek and mild
His teaches me I should not stand out
Like a bull in a China shop
But should go about my daily chores
Let my work tell His story of Hope
Yes, the lessons we learn from Christmas
Are as vast as the sand and the sea
I will go out and show the whole world
Just what Christmas means to me
What yonder star is shining bright
What wonder in this dazzling light
That splits the sky and stills the night
The star of Bethlehem
It shines down on a manger’s hay
Where just a small newborn does lay
His mother and his father pray
This night in Bethlehem
An angel comes to fields afar
He tells the shepherds of the star
The leave their flocks and travel far
To little Bethlehem
This world will never be the same
Since the night this baby came
The call Emmanuel His name
This day in Bethlehem
And he will reign o’er all the earth
For all creation knows His worth
We all rejoice to praise His birth
Way off in Bethlehem
So lift you’re voices high this day
Give Jesus Christ all of your praise
He came down this world to save
To chosen Bethlehem
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
He was wrapped in simple cloths from a garment lying there
The baby in the manger lay His head down in the hay
No royal robe awaiting
No pretty blanket there
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords came down to earth that day
Shepherds came to greet this babe the angel had declared
The looked in awe as Mary held the baby in her arms
The angel told them this child
Would bring peace to all mankind
So the bowed and worshipped Him as the King of Kings that day
That day was the beginning
That day brought our redemption
That day Christ came to live with us
That day He came to die
That day He brought God’s love to earth
That day God’s mercy mercy
That day the grace of God came as a babe
He grew and taught us of our Father up in heaven
Then He gave His life away as a sacrifice for sin
He didn’t have to save us
He didn’t have to raise us
But He loved us all so much that He did it anyway
When we will put our trust in Him we inherit life
When we acknowledge He is Lord we win
The joy and peace from god above will set our spirits free
We’ll be no longer captured by our sin
This day is the beginning
This day brings our redemption
This day Christ comes to live with us
This day He comes to die
This day He brings God’s love to earth
This day God’s mercy shows
This day the grace of God comes as a babe
A brand new Christmas song. Words and video are here.
Oh, to see the light the shines in the darkness
Oh, to see the place where my Lord was born
Oh, to hear the angels sing their praises
On that blessed Christmas morn
Oh, to hear the baby cry in the manger
Oh, to see how Mary loved Him so
Oh, to see how Joseph held Him closely
On that blessed Christmas morn
CHORUS
I wish that I had been there
I wish that I had seen
The wondrous gift was given
For all the world to see
But He said it is greater
That I would still believe
For though I was not there that day
He came to die for me
Oh, I want to turn my face from His suff’ring
Oh, I want to turn my face from His pain
Oh, I want to hear Him cry forgive them
Oh, I want to see Him rise again
Oh, I want to see Him rise again
On that blessed Christmas born
The Son of God was born
To take away our sins
To make us free within
What a wondrous gift
What a wondrous gift
What a wondrous gift God gave
