It Began On Christmas Day

Jesus Once A baby in a manger long ago;
Was sent to earth from heaven, For God, He loved us so.
God gave us a Christmas Gift that lasts a whole life long;
For Jesus died for us, arose, and gave us a song.

Jesus was born,
Jesus grew,
Jesus died,
Arose anew.
Jesus lives;
And He forgives.
He made a way.
He made a way....
And It began....
On Christmas day.

It was A Merry Christmas to the world on that day;
Jesus came to the world to wash our sins away.
Jesus once a baby rocked and loved in Mary's care;
Now is the Risen Savior that holds us very near.

Jesus was born,
Jesus grew,
Jesus died,
Arose anew.
Jesus lives
And He forgives.
He made a way.
He made a way....
for me and you.

The promised gift of salvation was given in love;
The sinless Lamb was provided by our God above.
Jesus grew, He suffered and understands our ev'ry need;
Jesus knows our grief, our pain our loss, and our plea.

It was A Merry Christmas to the world on that day;
Jesus came to the world to wash our sins away.
Jesus once a baby rocked and loved in Mary's care;
Now is the Risen Savior that holds us very near.

Jesus was born,
Jesus grew,
Jesus died,
Arose anew.
Jesus lives
And He forgives.
He made a way.
He made a way;
And It began....
On Christmas day.
