Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 2]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the holy bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Verse 3]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 4]
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Verse 5]
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song
The music seemed to come from afar
[Verse 6]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 7]
For a moment the world was aglow
All the bells rang out, there were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted, let everyone know
There is hope for all to find peace
[Verse 8]
And then they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger, cold and dark
Mary's little boy was warm
[Verse 9]
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
[Verse 10]
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Verse 11]
For a moment the world was aglow
All the bells rang out, there were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted, let everyone know
There is hope for all to find peace
[Verse 12]
Oh my Lord, You sent your Son to save us
Oh my Lord, Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more
[Verse 13]
Oh my Lord, when in the crib they found Him
Oh my Lord, a golden halo crowned Him
Oh my Lord, they gathered all around Him
To see Him and adore (This day, we'll live forever)
[Verse 14]
Oh my Lord, they had become to doubt You (Go praise the Lord)
Oh my Lord, what did they know about You? (Is it truth forever?)
Oh my Lord, but they were lost without You (Go praise the Lord)
They needed You so bad (His light is shining on us all)
[Verse 15]
Oh my Lord, with the child's adoration (Go praise the Lord)
Oh my Lord, there came great jubilation (Is it jubilation?)
Oh my Lord, and full of admiration (Go praise the Lord)
They realized what they had (I'm jealous, thankful for sky)
[Verse 16]
Oh my Lord, You sent Your Son to save us (Go praise the Lord)
Oh my Lord, Your very self You gave us (This day would live forever)
Oh my Lord, that sin may not enslave us (Go praise the Lord)
