The First Christmas
by Tenth Avenue North, Zach Williams

Album: Decade the Halls, Vol. 1

Intro: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
No room in the end
No toys by the tree
No lights, no presents, no snow, no Bing

Chorus: Mike Donehey
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
Yeah, but we finally got what we need
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)

Break: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
Alright
Oh come now
Alright, let me tell you a little story

Verse 1: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
In a dirty little stable in Bethlehem
Mary and Joseph had nothing
But the light of the world came down from the heavens
The shepherds and the magi came a-runnin' just to meet him
"Hallelujah," the angels sing
That first Christmas

Refrain: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
No stockings on the mantle
Parades or movies
No Santa, no cookies, no office parties

Chorus: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
That first Christmas (that first Christmas)
But the world, we got what we need
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)

Break: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
Saxaphone!
Come on Zach
Yeah
Come on guitars

Refrain: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
No special cup from Starbucks
Or shopping online
But with Jesus in the manger
They were doing just fine

Chorus: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)
That first Christmas (that first Christmas)
Cause we finally got what we need
The first Christmas (that first Christmas)

Outro: Mike Donehey & Zach Williams
Yeah we finally got what we need
The first Christmas
