Born in a manger
He was a stranger coming from Bethlehem
Born of virgin
Healing the hurt with compassion and holy hands
Son of the highest
Came to the earth
Just so he could be crucified
But never to worry he got the victory
He rose
[Chorus:]
That's the reason we hark the angel sing
Glory to the king
Through him we celebrate life
For us all a savior dies
Glory to the king
You are Emmanuel
God is with us
A miracle just took place
This is the time where
We dress up warm
As the snowflakes kiss your face
Children's laughter is the symbol and sigh
How they wish they could hold back time
Don't let the day end without reaching out to give love
That's the gift that no money could ever buy
[Chorus]
Can you hear it
Let's sing it
Hallelujah
