The First Christmas Lyrics

[Mike Donehey (Zach Williams):]
No room in the end
(No toys by the tree)
No lights, no presents, no snow, (no Bing)

[Mike Donehey:]
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
Yeah, but we finally got what we need
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)

[Zach Williams:]
Alright
Oh come now
[Mike Donehey:]
Alright, let me tell you a little story

[Mike Donehey (Zach Williams):]
In a dirty little stable in Bethlehem
Mary and Joseph had nothing
(But the light of the world came down from the heavens)
The shepherds and the magi came a-runnin' just to meet him
"Hallelujah," the angels sing
That first Christmas

[Mike Donehey (Zach Williams):]
(No stockings on the mantle)
Parades or movies
(No Santa, no cookies, no office parties)

[Mike Donehey & Zach Williams:]
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
That first Christmas (that first Christmas)
But the world, we got what we need
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)

[Mike Donehey (Zach Williams):]
Saxaphone!
Come on Zach
(Yeah)
Come on guitars

[Mike Donehey & Zach Williams:]
No special cup from Starbucks
Or shopping online
But with Jesus in the manger
They were doing just fine

The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
That first Christmas (that first Christmas)
Cause we finally got what we need
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)

Yeah we finally got what we need
The first Christmas
