The First Noel Lyrics

[Colton Dixon:]
Yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no, no inn

[Mike Donehey:]
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[Colton Dixon:]
And they looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth, it gave great light
So it continued both day and night

[Colton Dixon & Mike Donehey:]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
[Colton Dixon (Mike Donehey):]
Noel, hm
I was just 5 years old the first time I sang it (na, na, na, na, na, na)
Me and mama would walk in the candle light service in the snow (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll never forget the choir in that old church
Sounded like heaven (You're the first, You're the last)
So let us all in one accord sing praises to our heavenly Lord (Noel, You're the reason we sing)

[Mike Donehey:]
Christmas only comes but one time a year
But You're in my heart everyday

[Mike Donehey & Colton Dixon:]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel

[Mike Donehey (Colton Dixon):]
Yes You are, yes You are
(Born is our King)
You're the King that was born for me
(Born is the King)
You're the King, You're the King
Of Israel
Yes You are, yes You are
(You're the first Noel)
Born for me, yes You are, yes You are
(Born is the King)
