Kathy Mattea What A Wonderful Beginning
(Allen Shamblin/Austin Cunningham) Oh a man named John The Baptist Had been hearlding the news About the coming of a Savior For both the Gentiles and the Jews And it happened in Judea In the town of Bethlehem With a bright star o'er the stable Was born the Son Of Man Oh the angels were rejoicing As the tiny baby cried For the hope of man's salvation In a manger had arrived Meek as a lowly shepherd But the mightiest of kings He gives peace and life eternal To whosever calls His name Oh Emmanuel The Father's precious Son Who forgives our sins and washes clean The hearts of everyone What a wonderful beginning To the greatest story ever told His birth still rings with promise As true as in days of old So let us sing His praises And let us open up our hearts And receive His timeless message That gives us all a brand new start Oh Emmanuel The Father's precious Son Who forgives our sins and washes clean The hearts of everyone Oh a man named John The Baptist Had been hearlding the news About the coming of a Savior For both the Gentiles and the Jews
