A chill was in the air that night
With no place to rest in sight
Soon she would bring forth a son
The inn was full so instead
He was born in a stable bed
There His life had just began
But how was she supposed to know
As she wrapped him in swaddling clothes
Her precious newborn son would be a sacrifice
He would run and He would laugh and play
But His manhood would bring the day
For the world He would choose to die
Mary wrapped a present to the world
On that first Christmas morn, when her baby was born
Mary wrapped a present to the world
There was no lighted Christmas tree,
just one lighted star so all could see
the way to Bethlehem that winter night
Many gifts they brought to Him
but a greater gift she gave to them
For through her son would come eternal life
Mary wrapped a present to the world,
on that first Christmas morn, when Jesus was born
Mary wrapped a present to the world
