First Christmas Gift - The Oak Ridge Boys

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
