When I Think Upon Christmas

Song based on the Bible verse:
Matthew 1:22-23
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

1
When I think upon Christmas
Words can’t express
How our Father in heaven
Has sent us His best
To be born in a manger
The King in the hay
And creation will worship His Name

For the joy of the world He was born
Bringing peace to us all
Through the gift of the Son
Now the darkest of ages are done
For the Saviour of heaven has come

2
When I think upon Jesus the King of all days
I can’t help but respond with an offering of praise
Like the wise men and shepherds
I’ll follow Your light
Like the angels I?ll lift Your Name high

For the joy of the world You were born
Bringing peace to us all
For the gift of Your love
Now the darkest of ages are done
For the Savior of heaven has come

For the joy of the world You were born
Bringing peace to us all
For the gift of Your love
Now the darkest of ages are done
For the Savior of heaven has come

3
Now I look back in reverence
To that holy night
For the God of the heavens had us on His mind
Let us sing of His gloroy
Rejoice in His Name
Oh Emmanuel with us always
And forever His kingdom will reign
