The stage was set, it was the first coming
A baby boy, as the angel said
To the shepherds the wise men, oh could this be?
The Messiah our Savior, oh is this He?
Chorus 1:
The actors in place, the curtain drawn
Could this infant know the stage He's on?
As the dawning hailed welcome God's first born Son
And the stars in the heavens inquired of One
Oh who could this baby be?
Spoken Vocals (John 1:1-2,4-5,12b):
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
He was with God in the beginning
In him was life, and that life was the light of men
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it
To those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
Repeat Chorus 1
Oh who would this baby be?
(Come now they told me, pa-rum-pa-pa-pum, me and my drum)
Let the trees of the field clap their hands in praise
As the wise men beheld young Ancient of Days
For the One who would die, that man might be saved
Was asleep in a manger rest, man's infant grace
Chorus 2
It is He, the One who loves us all
It is He, the One who saved our souls
It is He, God and human in full, Emanuel (Emanuel)
Repeat Chorus 1 and 2 (together)
And the stars in the heavens inquired of One
In the City of David, born God's own Son
A baby boy, as the angel said
To the shepherds the wise men, oh could this be?
The Messiah our Savior, oh is this He?
