The Oak Ridge Boys - First Christmas Gift lyrics

God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's pow'r When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Christmas was a present from God on high A Child was born so that man wouldn't die He gave His Son so that we might live Jesus was the very first Christmas Gift Wrapped in swaddling clothes He lay Ribbon of light around His head they say High in the Heavens a star was lit For Jesus was the very first Christmas Gift Shepherds as well as kings did come To look down upon the Holy One Angels rejoiced and the world was blessed With Jesus the very first Christmas Gift Since then we dread and shop and fret And spend a fortune over it Greed shows up in kids and grown ups Worrying about what we're gonna get When all it takes is a prayer of thanks To God for the very first Christmas Gift
