2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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

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

7. 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!

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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?

13. 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

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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

21. Bow the knee and adore Him.

Born on Christmas Day.
