More than a child born in the hay
Jesus, my Lord, on that first Christmas day
More than the son of a carpenter man
You carried the weight of the world in Your hand
For You are the Hope of my soul
All that I see, and all that I know
In You, there is peace in my life
For one day You came, as angels proclaimed
The Light of the world for us all
More than a star shining that night
More than the shepherds amazed by the sight
More than three wise men with riches of gold
You, the Messiah, the prophets foretold
Would come, bringing newness and life
Freedom from sin, deliv'rance from strife
In You, there is peace evermore
For one day You came, as angels proclaimed
The Light of the world for us all
Yes, one day You came, as angels proclaimed
Redeemer and Lord of us all
