Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Nativity
[Intro:]
Behold! I bring you good tidings of great joy
Which will be to all people
For there is born to you this day
In the city of David, a savior
Who is Christ the Lord!
Glory to God in the highest
And on Earth, peace, good will toward men!

Don’t be afraid ([?] say to them)
I bring you good news (great joy that never ends)
The messiah’s here (to rid us of all sin)
Oh yes a wonderful thing has happened!
(Do you know where to find him?)
(Ah-will you recognize him?)
He’ll be wrapped in swaddling clothes
Laying in a manger

Oh glory to God in the highest heavens
Angels and shepherds sing
As they rush to deliver the message

[Chorus:]
Born in Bethlehem, savior to the world
The night of the nativity
Angels by his side, stars shining so bright
The night of the nativity
[Verse 2:]
The star of Bethlehem (lighting up the sky)
Presented by three wise men (replace the good vibe [?])
Is that the baby Jesus?
And they bowed to their knees and worshipped him

The first lover for all creation
To [?] to all nations
The key to our salvation
That’s why we give him praise
(All glory to god in the highest heaven)
Angels and shepherds sing
As they rush to deliver the message

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Christ is born
Emmanuel!
Christ is born
Emmanuel!

[Spoken:]
A son is given to us
And the government will rest upon his shoulder
And he will be called
Wonderful counselor
Mighty good, everlasting father
Prince of peace
His government and its peace
Will never ever end
[Chorus]

Rejoice!

[Chorus]

Rejoice!

[Chorus]

Rejoice!
