In The First Light

Verse 1 In the first light of a new day no one knew he had arrived Things continued as they had been while a newborn 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 Verse 2 As his mother held him closely it was hard to understand That her 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 Verse 3 But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose And the firstborn 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 every man Verse 4 Hear the angels as they’re singing on the morning of his birth But how much greater will their song be when he comes again to earth Hear the angels as they’re singing on the morning of his birth But how much greater will their song be when he comes to rule the earth!
