[Verse 1:]
It started in a manger, but finished on the cross
He knew from the beginning how it would end
His purpose was to save all, his plan went perfectly
His life paid the cost, he suffered every pain
So we could smile again
[Chorus:]
Oh What a Child, he came and died for love
Oh What a King, Saviour from Everything
No need to fear, be of good cheer
Christmas is for you and me
Oh, Christmas is for you and me
[Verse 2:]
As we share this time, with friends and family
Please let us remember the reason of his cry
So let us share with those are in need
Let him live within your heart and spread peace
And spread peace
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
For He alone gives us life, His word gives us truth
All men should follow him, The Babe from Bethlehem
