Would you have been there that first
Christmas morn
When Baby Jesus was mortally born?
Would you have listened to innocent
cries,
Seeing pure light when He opened his
eyes?
Would you have paused next to Marys
sweet Son,
Knowing that this was Gods pure Holy
One?
Would you have thanked Him with all of
your love
For his descending from heaven above?
Would you, oh would you, have been there
that day
When the world changed in this wonderful
way?
I would have been there where Jesus was laid.
I would have worshipped and silently prayed.
I would have knelt where He quietly
slept,
Thanking Him deeply, and openly wept.
I would have spoken with whispering
voice,
Then broken silence with songs to
rejoice.
Yes, Id have been there that first
Christmas morn,
When Christ, my Savior, was mortally
born . . .
Yes, Id have been there to shout
strains of joy,
Thanking the heavens for this Baby Boy!
