Christmas was a gift, given many years ago To an undeserving world, on a night so dark and cold God became a child, deity within a babe Man was given hope, man can be saved Chorus 1: And the angels must have marveled at what the Lord had done God in flesh and blood, Emmanuel, God the Son Born in a dirty stable, for there was no room at the inn For a lowly child that became the man that would free the world from sin The shepherds stood in awe, invited by an angel choir Singing glory unto God, and telling of the Savior's birth Could they really understand, the child had brought a better way? A bridge from God to man, man can be saved Repeat Chorus 1 And the child grew and became a man A cross and nails then captured His hands Could it be that God had died? The sun grew dark and nature cried Chorus 2: And the angels must have marveled at what the Lord had done God in flesh and blood, Emmanuel, God the Son (He is the only Son) Born in a dirty stable, and on a cross this child would end But He could not stay, the stone was rolled away, as He freed the world from sin No He could not stay, the stone was rolled away, as He freed the world from sin
