The First Christmas Song

from The King Has Arrived by Michael J Tinker

/

lyrics

Each year in December
You can hear the world sing
In the school, in the shops
You can hear sleigh bells ring

Now listen quite closely
(or do sing along)
As I tell you the story
Of the First Christmas Song.

It started with Mary,
An ordinary girl
When she heard some good news
That would change all the world.

An angel said "Mary,
You're having a son
He is coming to rescue
He's God's chosen one."

So Mary was pregnant
With God's baby boy!
The news was amazing
So she sang out with joy:

"Glory to God,
He has done a great thing!
He is saving his people
So everyone sing!

The song kept on growing
And Mary did too
Until Jesus was born
As a baby brand new.

So God's king arrived
On that first Christmas day
And in Bethlehem's manger
He lay in the hay.

The sky filled with angels
A heavenly throng
And they joined in the words
Of the First Christmas Song.

"Glory to God
And to Jesus the king!
He is born as a baby
So everyone sing!"

Then Mary and Joseph
And Jesus so small
Went up to the temple
To thank God for it all.

Simeon lived there
A very old man
He trusted in God
And in his rescue plan.

He'd been waiting for Jesus
He'd waited so long
Now at last he could join in
The First Christmas Song.

"Glory to God!
I have seen a great thing!
God has kept every promise
So everyone sing!"

So maybe this Christmas
You will hear the world sing
And over the fields
You might hear church bells ring.

And now that you've heard it
You could sing along
You could be in the choir
For the First Christmas Song!
