TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"The First Christmas"
(Mike Donehey / Jason Jamison / Ruben Juarez / Jeff Owen / Brendon Shirley)
feat. Zach Williams

[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
