(Guitar into) (verse 1) He was wrapped in simple cloths from a garment lying there The baby in the manger lay His head down in the hay No royal robe awaiting no pretty blanket there The King of Kings and Lord of Lords came down to earth that day (verse 2) Shepherds came to greet this babe the angel had declared The looked in awe as Mary held the baby in her arms The angel told them this child would bring peace to all mankind So they bowed and worshipped Him as the King of Kings that day (chorus) That day was the beginning. That day brought our redemption That day Christ came to live with us. That day He came to die That day He brought God’s love to earth. That day God’s mercy reigned That day the grace of God came as a babe (verse 3) He grew and taught us of our Father up in heaven Then He gave His life away as a sacrifice for sin He didn’t have to save us. He didn’t have to raise us But He loved us all so much that He did it anyway (interlude) (verse 4) When we put our trust in Him, we inherit life When we acknowledge He is Lord we win The joy and peace from God above will set our spirits free We’ll no longer be a captive to our sin (bridge) Mercy reigned as grace came down Mercy reigned as grace came down Our redemption comes and Christ lives with us The day that mercy reigned and grace came down Mercy reigned as grace came down Mercy reigned as grace came down Our redemption comes and Christ lives with us The day that mercy reigned and grace came down (chorus) This day is the beginning. This day brings our redemption This day Christ comes to live with us. This day He comes to die This day He brings God’s love to earth. This day God’s mercy reigned This day the grace of God comes as a babe (refrain, fade out) Mercy reigned as grace came down Mercy reigned as grace came down Mercy reigned as grace came down Mercy reigned as grace came down
