It was a day like any other day
People were heading for home
Mary was feeling the first pains
Of a child she couldn't really call her own
And the angels looked down exitedly
The waiting was finally about to end
And the Father looked down knowingly
The plan was soon to begin

Chorus
The day that Christmases began
The angels singing up above
As the Father gave His only Son
A Christmas gift of love
And the star that shown on Him
Became a light of hope for man
And the world was changed forevermore
The Day that Christmases began

He looked at her worriedly
And asked her if she was ok
And the look of love she gave to him
Said more than any words could ever say
And as she held the Baby close to her
Tears came slowly to her eyes
And if you listened carefully
You could hear Angel voices fill the skies

Chorus
The day that Christmases began
The angels singing up above
As the Father gave His only Son
A Christmas gift of love
And the star that shown on Him
Became a light of hope for man
And the world was changed forevermore
The Day that Christmases began
