In the first light of a new day No one knew, no one knew He had arrived Things continued as they had been While a newborn, a newborn softly cried But the heavens (But the heavens wrapped in wonder) Knew the meaning (Knew the meaning of His birth) In the weakness of a baby They knew God had come to earth
Hear the angels (Children, can you hear the angels?) As they're singing (Singing on the morning of His birth) On the morning of His birth
As His mother (As His mother held Him closely) It was hard to (It was hard to understand) That this baby not yet speaking was the Word of God to man He would tell them (He would tell them of His kingdom) But their hearts would (But their hearts would not believe) They would hate Him and in anger They would nail Him to a tree
How much greater (How much greater will our song be?) Will our song be (Greater when He comes again) When He comes again to earth
But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take His throne He has left them to redeem us But before His life began We knew He'd come back, not as a baby But as the Lord of every man Hear the angels as they're singing on the morning of His birth
