Verse 1

For God so loved this broken world

With all its sadness, all its pain

He sent His one and only Son

To take our guilt and bear our shame

Verse 2

So long ago in Bethlehem

Angels appeared to working men

“Joy to the world from heaven above”

Proclaim the birth of Christ the King

Chorus 1

And that’s what Christmas is all about

This new-born baby in the hay

Is Jesus Christ and He has come to us

To drive the darkness far away

Verse 3

This Child would crush the serpent's head

And grow to conquer sin and death

This Christ would die in agony

Then rise in power and victory

Chorus 2

And that’s what Christmas is all about

The Son of God became a man

To live a sinless life we couldn’t live

To die the death that we deserve

Bridge

“All glory to the Lord on High!”

Sang angel choirs which filled the sky

There’s now no need to be afraid

When you believe in Jesus’ name

Chorus 3

And that’s what Christmas is all about

Gods great compassion for the lost

When we were powerless to save ourselves

God sent His own beloved Son.
