The sunrise was beautiful this morning   But somehow it seemed that everything was darker than the sky   We had seen just a few hours ago   As the angels sang a song of joy      Not even the Bethlehem dawn   Could compare to the Light it revealed   Not even the Bethlehem sun   That unveiled the Son of God   Sleeping in a cattle stall   The Almighty God   Humbled to save us all   Not even the Bethlehem dawn      The cry of a baby shatters the silence   Can you believe that same voice makes my heart beat   And the tears in His eyes and in His mother's and father's   Are tears for all mankind      Not even the Bethlehem dawn   Could compare to the Light it revealed   Not even the Bethlehem sun   That unveiled the Son of God   Sleeping in a cattle stall   The Almighty God   Humbled to save us all   Not even the Bethlehem dawn      This little Baby is crying my tears for me   This little Baby is bathing in my shame   This little Baby is giving up His glory   To take my place, to light the way      Not even the Bethlehem dawn   Could compare to the Light it revealed   Not the Jerusalem sun   That unveiled the Son of God   Hanging on a cross   The Almighty God   Dying to save the lost   Can you believe   What He sacrificed for me   On that Bethlehem dawn
