A decree went out from Caesar
Let the people be numbered
Each in the town of his birth
Let the people obey
A young couple came
To the city of David
She gave birth to the Son of the Lord
In a manger He lay

Jesus of Nazareth
God's only Son
He gave his life as our Saviour
Our lives have only begun

The Son of God; the Son of man
Christ Messiah
Miracles flowed from His hands
But His message was love
He chose twelve from thousands
To witness His teaching
For He knew that He soon must return
To His Father above

Thirty pieces of silver
And Judas betrayed Him
They crucified Christ on a cross
Where everybody could see
He died to pay for our sin
And our salvation is free know
"Eternal life is God's gift to the world
If you believe in Me"
