Born on Christmas Day

lyrics

Mama told me, yeah she told me, 'round the old Christmas tree
Of a story about a man, he came from Galilee
Said his name, it was Jesus, she'd smile as she'd say
He was born in a stable on Christmas day.

Mama told me, yeah she told me, she would always begin
How poor Mary and Joseph found no room at the inn
'Til they came to a stable where they were destined to stay
Had a baby named Jesus on born Christmas day.

CHORUS
And we gather, yes we gather, we rejoice and we sing
And we'll sing out in joy and in praise of the King
And we'll gather, yes we'll gather and together we'll pray
For a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.

Mama told me, yeah she told me, shepherds first saw the light
As it shone in the night sky and it burned big and bright
'Til they came to a stable where, in a manger, there lay
Was a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.

Mama told me, yeah she told me, of a bright shining star
How three wise men bearing presents followed it from afar
'Til they came to a stable, where it guided their way
To a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.

CHORUS
And we gather, yes we gather, we rejoice and we sing
And we'll sing out in joy and in praise of the King
And we'll gather, yes we'll gather and together we'll pray
For a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.

Mama told me, yeah she told me, he was God's only son
He was sent down to save us, and to tell everyone
To bid peace and good will and to love 'long the way
And his name, it was Jesus, born on Christmas day.

CHORUS
And we gather, yes we gather, we rejoice and we sing
And we'll sing out in joy and in praise of the King
And we'll gather, yes we'll gather and together we'll pray
For a baby named Jesus born on Christmas day.
