What A Wonderful Beginning Lyrics

by Kathy Mattea

Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been heralding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e102409-_kathy_mattea~what_a_wonderful_beginning_lyrics.html ]
And it happened in Judea
In the town of Bethlehem
With a bright start 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 the manger had arrived

Meek as a lowly shepherd
But the mightiest of kings
He gives peach and life eternal
To whosever calls His name

Chorus:
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 starts

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been heralding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews
