052 - First Christmas
1. Bethlehem’s streets were busy that night
Nobody saw the star shining bright
For in the town where Jesus was born
Nobody knew it was the first Christmas morn.
2. Angels in heaven watched from above
Singing an anthem to Herald His love
But in the town where Jesus was born
Nobody sang on that first Christmas morn.
There were no parades on the streets of
Bethlehem and no town officials came to
Welcome Him and all the world had nothing
To bring God brought to us a Saviour and King.
3. Look in a manger and realize
Sometimes the first gift comes by surprise
For in the town where Jesus were born
Nobody knew it was the first Christmas morn.
Prophets had foretold His coming to earth
But none were there to watch Him.
The King at his birth though heaven and earth
Had at last become one the world did not know
The Messiah had come.
4. What if this Christmas He came to you
When you find time tonight if it’s true
What if He comes just like He was born
With no parades and no masquerades
What if He came to you this Christmas
This would be your first Christmas.
