[Bb]
[F] On that first Christmas morning, [Eb] Mary held her [Bb] newborn lamb.
And as mothers do, she unwrapped him to [C] check out tiny feet [Cm] and hands.
[Bb] That little hand curled round her finger, [Eb] and I wonder, [Bb] did she see
[Eb] the day it would be [Bb] nailed to a [Gm] tree [Cm] as he [F] dies on [Bb] Calvary?
[Eb]
[Bb] She softly sings her lullaby [Eb] and waits for him [Bb] to come.
Does she know those lips will one day cry,
[C] Father, forgive, they know [Cm] not what they [F] do.
[Bb] As she feeds her babe, does she realize [Eb] she's holding the bread [Bb] of life?
[Eb] As she rocks him to [E] sleep, [Bb] does she know he's the rock of ages [F] that will stand [D] through time?
[Bb] What a day was that first Christmas, [Eb] what a gift to this [Bb] old world.
All the glory of the Father in a manger [F] lays unfurled.
[Bb] Stars go on, hooray, while angels sing.
[Eb] Cause a young virgin girl [C] holds heaven's king.
[Bb] What a day was that first Christmas when [F] redemption's [Bb] plan was born.
Stars go on, hooray, while angels sing.
[Eb] Cause a young virgin girl [C] holds heaven's king.
[Bb] What a day was that first Christmas [F] when [F] redemption's [Bb] plan was born.
[F] On that first Christmas morning, [Eb] Mary held her [Bb] newborn lamb.
And as mothers do, she unwrapped him to [C] check out tiny feet [Cm] and hands.
