[Verse]
D Bm G A D
In the first light of a new day no one knew he had arrived
D Bm G A D
Things continued as they had been while a newborn softly cried
Bm A Bm A D
But the heavens wrapped in wonder knew the meaning of his birth
Bm A G A D
In the weakness of a baby they knew God had come to earth
G A D Esus4

E C#m A B E
As his mother held him closely it was hard to understand
E C#m A B E
That her baby, not yet speaking, was the word of God to man
C#m B C#m B E
He would tell them of his kingdom but their hearts would not believe
C#m B A B E
They would hate him and in anger they would nail him to a tree
A B E F#sus4
[Verse]
F# D#m B C# F#
But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose
F# D#m B C# F#
And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take his throne
D#m C# D#m C# F#
He had left it to redeem us but before his life began
D#m C# B C# F#
He knew he?d come back, not as a baby, but as the Lord of every man
[Chorus]
F# D#m B C# F#
Hear the angels as they're singing on the morning of his birth
F# D#m B C# F# C#
But how much greater will their song be when he comes again, when he comes again
F# D#m B C# F#
Hear the angels as they're singing on the morning of his birth
D#m C# B C# F#
But how much greater will their song be when he comes to rule the earth!
D#m C# F#
when he comes to rule the earth
