In The First Light

• C

Verse 1	        
        C               Am              F      G       C 
In the first light of a new day no one knew he had arrived 
          C              Am                F       G      C 
Things continued as they had been while a newborn softly cried 
         Am                 G               F             G 
But the heavens wrapped in wonder knew the meaning of his birth 
        Am            G              F       G       C 
In the weakness of a baby they knew God had come to earth 


Verse 2 
        C               Am             F      G       C 
As his mother held him closely it was hard to understand 
          C             Am                F       G      C 
That her baby, not yet speaking, was the word of God to man 
          Am                G                F                 G 
He would tell them of his kingdom but their hearts would not believe 
            Am              G                F       G     C 
They would hate him and in anger they would nail him to a tree 


Verse 3 
	C               Am                    G     C 
But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose 
         C            Am             F          G        C 
And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take his throne 
        Am         G             F               G 
He had left it to redeem us but before his life began 
              Am                  G                F       G     C 
He knew he’d come back, not as a baby, but as the Lord of every man 


Verse 4 
       C                Am             F      G       C 
Hear the angels as they’re singing on the morning of his birth 
              C                  Am              F              C 
But how much greater will their song be when he comes again to earth 
          Am                G              F             G 
Hear the angels as they’re singing on the morning of his birth 
               Am                G               F        G        C 
But how much greater will their song be when he comes to rule the  
earth!
