Kenny Rogers Album

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
would one day walk on water.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
would save our sons and daughters.

Did you know that your baby boy
has come to make you new;
this child that you delivered
will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
will give sight to a blind man.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
will calm the storm with His hand.

Did you know that your baby boy
has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby,
you kiss the face of God!

Oh, Mary, did you know?
Oh, Mary, did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
the dead will live again.
the lame will leap, the dumb will speak
the praises of the lamb.

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
is Lord of all creation

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
will one day rule the nations.

Did you know (did you know) that your baby boy
is heaven's perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
is the great I am.

None seemed to notice the man beside the road
He was just a raged soldier out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlahem.

In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle he caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark.

Chorus:
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight.

He had marched for politicians, served under their command
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay.

Chorus:
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight.

He stood before the Son of God, come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
There he swore aligiance to the newborn baby King.

Chorus:
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight...

Pretty little baby, lying in a manger
Staring at the strangers, who've come so many miles
They were told to follow the star up in the heavens
And it brought them to the stable of the little baby child.

Could this be the kingdom of the high and mighty
Is this the ruler, born here tonight
Should we lay our treasures, here by the cradle
Oh, you must be the saviour, pretty little baby child.

Sometimes the greatest of miracles
Come from the smallest of things
They knew when they knelt there beside him
They were looking in the eyes of the king.
And that his tiny little fingers would bring us together
For ever and ever, pretty little baby child.

--- Instrumental ---

Wonder of wonders, there in the darkness
The light of the promise, how it shines from his eyes
The angels were singing the hallelujah chorus
To the saviour before us. Pretty little baby child.

Sometimes the greatest of miracles
Come from the smallest of things
They knew when they knelt there beside him
They were looking in the eyes of the king.
And that his tiny little fingers would bring us together
For ever and ever, pretty little baby child.
For ever and ever pretty little baby child...

Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been hearlding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews
And it happened in Judea
In the town of Bethlehem
With a bright star o'er the stable
Was born the Son Of Man
Oh the angels were rejoicing
As the tiny baby cried
For the hope of man's salvation
In a manger had arrived
Meek as a lowly shepherd
But the mightiest of kings
He gives peace and life eternal
To whosever calls His name
Oh Emmanuel
The Father's precious Son
Who forgives our sins and washes clean
The hearts of everyone
What a wonderful beginning
To the greatest story ever told
His birth still rings with promise
As true as in days of old
So let us sing His praises
And let us open up our hearts
And receive His timeless message
That gives us all a brand new start
Oh Emmanuel
The Father's precious Son
Who forgives our sins and washes clean
The hearts of everyone
Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been hearlding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews

It must have been something
Being born in a manger
With the sheep from the feilds
And stars shining over your head.

It must have been something
Seeing three wise men
On their knees before a newborn
With their eyes all aglow.

'Cause in their hearts they know

Chours:
It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's come at last.

It must have been something
Speaking the word of your Father
With the promise of life
And peace forever.

It must have been something
Walking the streets of Jeruselem
With the sins of the world
The innosence of a lamb.

But soon everone will know.

Chorus.
It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's with us at last...

God said, Mary pure and holy
With this baby, I trust you
She said, surely I'm not worthy
And it scares me, but I trust you.

Chorus:
Underneith a shining star
In a manger stall
Mary held the gift of love
God gave to us all.

Precious baby pure and holy
I'm not worthy, but I trust you

Chorus:
Underneith a shining star
In a manger stall
Mary held the gift of love
God gave to us all.

Precious baby pure and holy
Will you save me, I trust you
Son of Mary, I trust you...

(Swee-ee-ee-eet)

Sweet little Jesus boy
They made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy child
They didn't know who You were.

Didn't know You'd come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind
And we could not see
We didn't know who You were.

A long time ago
You were born in a manger, Lord
Sweet little Jesus Boy (Sweet Jesus boy)
Now the world treated You mean, Lord
And it's been treatin' me mean too
But that's how things are done now, yeah (Sweet)
We didn't know it was You.

You done told us how
And we are a-tryin'
Master, You done showed us how (how)
Even when you were dyin' (when you were dyin')
It just seems like we can't do right (do right)
Look how we treated you, yeah
Please, please, forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you.

Sweet little Jesus boy (Sweet little Jesus)
Born a long time ago
Sweet little Holy child
We didn't know who You were...

[No lyrics]

Come and gather around at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes 'round again.

Let's all try to smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through
Should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes 'round again.

Chorus:
One night holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire,
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year.

May the new year be blessed
With good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes 'round again.

Chorus:
One night holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire,
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year.

One night holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire,
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year.

May the new-year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
And we'll love and we'll laugh
In the time that we had
'Til the season comes 'round again.

If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes 'round again...
