In the first light of a new day No one knew He had arrived Things continued as they had been While a new born softly cried. But the heavens wrapped in wonder Knew the meaning of His birth In the weakness of a baby They knew God had come to earth. As His mother held him closely, It was hard to understand That this baby not yet speaking Was the Word of God to man. He would tell them of His kingdom, But their hearts would not believe They would hate Him and in anger They would nail Him to a tree. But the sadness would be broken As the song of life arose And the First born of creation Would ascend and take his throne. He had left it to redeem us, But before His life began He knew He'd come back not as a baby But as The Lord of ev'ry man. Hear the angels as they're singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes again to earth When He comes again Hear the angels as they're singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes again to Earth When He comes to rule the Earth! When He comes back, When He comes back To rule the Earth!
