[Verse 1]
A long, long time ago
A lovely couple made a jounery, to a town called Bethlehem
Well Mary traveled great with child
Somehow knowing all the while
That one day all would bow their knees to Him
Born of God, yet born of man, part of His Father s master plan
Yet this Holy Stranger, lay crudly in a manger
It s something that I can t explain,
that He ll say the world Yet take it s blame
But things will never be the same,
The day, the Savior came
My, My canât you feel it inside?
[Chorus]
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
[Verse 2]
Shepherds watching flocks by night
when there came a frightening brilliant light,
shining in the midnight sky
Well the shepherds fell down to their knees
as the angels voices would not cease
but they sang of good will and sang of peace
Well they told the shepherds âDo not fear because
God is with us and He is nearâ
They leapt up to their feet
and they ran down to the streets!
And as they found the stable in Bethlehem
a tiny baby greeted them.
Their lives would change when they saw Him
the day the Savior came
They started singing
[Chorus]
My, My canât you feel it inside?
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
[Verse 3]
Well He grew up, pure and straight and strong.
Then preached so boldly in a synagogue with holy wisdom from above.
He was raised to work His hands in wood,
but mother Mary understood He was born as Godâs gift of perfect love.
Well He came to John to be baptized which was pleasing to His Fatherâs eyes
the Spirit then descended so the world could then be mended.
And as He left His home in Galilee, to start His earthly ministry
it changed the course of history
the day the Savior came
We started singing,
[Chorus]
My, My canât you feel it inside?
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
[Verse 4]
For forty days our Lord was empty,
Satan lied and He was tempted but
through it all He did not sin.
Well He gathered up twelve common men, that gave up all to follow Him
for He showed them Godâs love from within
Yeah, He healed the sick, the lame, the blind.
He fed five thousand on a mountain side.
To Lazarus He was led, so He could raise him from the dead.
And the disciples witnessed everything the carpenter would be their king.
No wonder angels had to sing
the day the Savior came
They were singing
[Chorus]
My, My canât you feel it inside?
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
[Verse 5]
Well the time came, Jesus was betrayed
His faithful scattered they were so afraid.
He faced His trials without a friend.
He was whipped and beaten to the ground
and mocked a king with a thorny crown
and yet He forgave them in the end.
Well He died nailed to a wooden cross,
for the next three days all hope was lost
but God had a world to save
So He raised Him from the grave
and as He let His friends know all is well
that He kicked in the gates of hell
the powers of sin and darkness fell
the day the Savior came
They started singing
[Chorus]
My, My canât you feel it inside?
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
[Verse 6]
Though itâs been two thousand years,
the reason for the season remains clear,
yet some people still have doubts.
Some will say its just a tale
others choose a different trail
and this gift from God, theyâd rather live without.
This storyâs more than just a rhyme
itâs more than church at Christmas time.
Itâs a gift that keeps on living
a love that keeps forgiving.
Godâs master plan had been deployed,
from what started as His baby boy.
Can you imagine Maryâs joy
the day the Savior came
[Chorus]
My, My canât you feel it inside?
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
[Outro]
My, My canât you feel it inside?
There s no other like a brother who would lay down his life.
He was sent by the Father just to be crucified
so that you and I will never die,
You and I will never die.
