lyrics

Peace and Joy for Christmas Day

Verse 1
Long ago in Bethlehem
A little child was born
A little child who would one day be King
Although he never wore a crown
He still became a mighty King

Verse 2
Long ago in Bethlehem
A little child was born
Oh how he made his parents very proud
To them he was just baby Jesus
They never thought he'd stand out in a crowd

Chorus
Later on when he began to grow it became clear
He was such an extraordinary child
He would not go into battle with a sword in hand
Instead he talked and won the hearts of people

Verse 3
Now as we all celebrate our Christmas day in style
We should think back to the time when it began
A simple manger filled with straw a tiny baby boy
That's all there was on Christmas day

Verse 4
Long ago in Bethlehem a little child was born
A little child who would one day be King
A King who won the hearts of men and women
He brought us peace and joy for Christmas day
