Christ the Lord is Born
Lyrics
Key: E & A
CCLI No. 7050224
Verse 1
Friends and family gather and fill the house with laughter
‘Round the fire glowing tell of love ever flowing.
Share the Christmas story about the Lord of Glory
Celebrate His lowly birth; how He came down to this earth.
Chorus
Christ the Lord is born, Tell it on this morn.
Worship and adore your King; Glory in the highest!
Verse 2
Joseph and his wife, Mary suffered very shamefully
Of Joseph they would speak with guile When Mary was with child.
People did not understand that this was part of God’s’ good plan
Mary was a virgin; her child is God’s very kin.
Verse 3
Shepherds watching flocks at night suddenly saw a heavenly light
An angel said, “Don’t be afraid, your Saviour’s in a manger laid.”
Said the shepherds, “We must go and see if this is really so.”
To their delight they found it true; they shared with everyone the news.
Verse 4
Wise men came from very far, they saw a brand new rising star
Following the starry light, they travelled all throughout the night.
It led them to a manger, there they approached as strangers
They gave Him incense, gold and myrrh, precious gifts they offered.
Verse 5
Sing and make a joyful sound, come and worship and bow down.
He who in the manger lay is Jesus Christ the Lord today.
God Himself became a man so we could better understand
God’s love for us so very great and that is why we celebrate.
Bridge
Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
