In the beginning

There was the word

Pure love was spoken

To reach every man

They stopped and listened

But all that they heard

Was a language that

They could not understand

No joy no peace

No hope insight

So he came with starlight

And love in his eyes

No regal welcome

For his infant cry

There have been many babies

To become a king

But only one king became a baby

Ohh

He left behind his throne

Of pure light

Gave up his crown that

We might be free

He chose a manger

That bethlehem night

And reaching through time

And space he saw me

No joy no peace

No hope insight

So he came with starlight

And love in his eyes

No regal welcome

For his infant cry

There have been many babies

To become a king

But only one king became a baby

Ohh

He could have chosen

To break through the sky

With anthem and angel wing

Ohh

But he knew we'd understand

A baby's cry

And learn love from a servant king

So he came with starlight

And love in his eyes

No regal welcome for his infant cry

There have been so many babies

To become a king

But only one king

One king became a baby

Ohh
