what a wonderful beginning

Kenny Rogers

Oh a man named John the Baptist
had been harolding the news
About the coming of a savior
for both the Gentiles and the Jews

And it happened in Judeia
in the town of Bethlehem
With a bright star o'r the stable
was born the son of man

Oh the angels were rejoicing
as the tiny baby cried
For the hope of mans salvation
in a manger had arived
Meek as a lowly shepard
but the mightiest of kings
He gives peace and life eternal
to who soever calls his name

chorus:

O-oh Emanuel
the Father's pretious 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 promis
as true in days of old
So let us sing his praises
let us open up our hearts
And recieve his timeless message
that gives us all a brand new start

Chorus

Oh a man named John the Baptist
had been harolding the news
About the coming of a savior
for both the Gentiles and the Jews
