The Greatest Gift Of All We wanna tell you the Christmas story It’s one that happened many years ago When God gave up his heavenly glory Came as a baby to the earth below Chorus His love came down, Yes, Love came down The greatest gift of all. The greatest gift of all The Greatest Gift of All- Title song

Donkey’s Song Along the dusty track, The couple travelled on Mary on the donkey’s back, The journey took so long. For many days and nights, They travelled on their way They saw Bethlehem in sight, The place where they would stay. Oh donkey, did you know What treasure you had there? You carried such a precious gift For people everywhere.

Mary, do not be frightened, I have great news, Angel Gabriel’s Song Mary, do not be frightened, I have great news, You will have a new baby, God is pleased with you Mary, do not be worried, blessed are you, You will call him Jesus, He will show the Truth Chorus Prince of Peace, Mighty King, Wonderful counsellor. Angel Gabriel’s song

Wandering round this town, Where can they find a place? No Vacancies Wandering round this town, Where can they find a place? Everywhere is full, no welcoming friendly face Give us a room tonight, we don't mind where we stay We're not fussy at all but don't send us away! No vacancies

We've no rooms left, no vacancies They've all been taken, can't you see?

3) Mary needs to rest, the baby's on his way We've travelled many miles, please don't turn us away! Give us a room tonight, we don't mind where we stay We're not fussy at all but don't send us away!

Come Inside I can see that you are tired and you need a place to stay Come inside into my stable, you can rest upon the hay. It’s not the best, I’m sorry but at least you will be warm Use the manger as a cradle when your little babe is born Come Inside

Shepherds were dozing on a hillside, Looking after their sheep, When suddenly in the night sky A bright light shone from heaven Angels roused them from their sleep

King Jesus is born. Leave your sheep & find Him. Only a tiny babe in a stable in Bethlehem. What amazing news! God has sent his only son Glory to God and peace to everyone, Glory to God and peace to everyone.

My baby lies in a stall, not in a cot or a bed. No lovely clothes or bedding, Just straw is under his head. This child is a wonder to me; it's such a special time The world will see this Saviour of mankind. This child is a wonder to me; it's such a special time.

How can I father this child? Looking so helpless & small? I am told he’s God's son, He doesn't seem it at all. What treasure have I here? How do l keep Him safe? I love him so, This picture of God's grace. This picture of God's grace?

Sleep baby Jesus, this lovely bundle of joy. Heaven is rejoicing at the sight of this baby boy so Heaven is rejoicing at the sight of this baby boy. Mary and Joseph’s Lullaby

I cannot believe this news I am hearing, A new king appearing to steal my crown. My kingdom is slipping right out of my hand, This king will take over and steal my land. How can I stay on my throne? No waiting till that boy has grown.

I cannot believe this news I am hearing, A new king appearing to steal my crown. My kingdom is slipping right out of my hand, This king will take over and steal my land. I’ll have to get rid of Him, I’ll murder that baby king.

Guards, come and listen, for you have a mission Kill every two-year old boy that you find. This is my order to go up to Judah, I mustn’t see any boys left behind.

The star led me here to this place, Here’s gold for the child of grace What An Honour The star led me here to this place, Here’s gold for the child of grace A present that’s fit for a king More precious than anything 3 Kings Song- verse

What an honour to worship this King To give Him the gifts we bring Chorus What an honour to worship this King To give Him the gifts we bring It was worth the long journey we’ve done To be here with God’s son 3 Kings Song-chorus

I’ve travelled so far from my land, I too have a gift in my hand, Frankincense smells so sweet It’s such a wonderful treat

I followed the star so bright Through many days and nights Myrrh is my gift for the boy For he’ll have sorrow and joy

Bow the knee and adore Him. Everybody come, See the baby King, Bow the knee and adore Him. See the baby King Born on Christmas Day. Everybody Come- 2nd sheet needed for reprise also!
