What A Wonderful Beginning Lyrics - Singles - Kathy Mattea

(Allen Shamblin/Austin Cunningham) 

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
