In The First Light
by Smalltown Poets

In the first light of a new day
No one knew, no one knew He had arrived
Things continued as they had been
While a newborn, a newborn softly cried
But the heavens (But the heavens wrapped in wonder)
Knew the meaning (Knew the meaning of His birth)
In the weakness of a baby
They knew God had come to earth

Hear the angels
(Children, can you hear the angels?)
As they're singing
(Singing on the morning of His birth)
On the morning of His birth

As His mother (As His mother held Him closely)
It was hard to (It was hard to understand)
That this baby not yet speaking was the Word of God to man
He would tell them (He would tell them of His kingdom)
But their hearts would (But their hearts would not believe)
They would hate Him and in anger
They would nail Him to a tree

How much greater
(How much greater will our song be?)
Will our song be (Greater when He comes again)
When He comes again to earth

But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose
And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take His throne
He has left them to redeem us
But before His life began
We knew He'd come back, not as a baby
But as the Lord of every man
Hear the angels as they're singing on the morning of His birth
