Great Big Story Chorus: It s a great big story of a great big love. Verse 1: It s the story of some shepherds in the middle of the night, Who were suddenly surrounded by a great big light; It s the story of some angels with some great big news, On this day a Savior has been born to you. Chorus: It s a great big story of a great big love Verse 2: We remember how the angels sang a song of praise, We remember the three kinds and how far they came; To adore the baby Jesus and to bring Him gifts, Now our part in the story is to worship Him. Bridge: It s the promise that we treasure; It s the greatest news ever

It s amazing! (Spoken) No it s better! (This time with the tag) It s a great big story. It s a great big story of a great big love.

#2 The Best Gift of All When God looked down from heaven On the world that He had made, He knew we needed forgiven That s the reason for the gift He gave. Chorus: The best gift of all wasn t wrapped up in paper The best gift of all wasn t underneath the tree The best gift of all was born in a manger When God sent His son for you and me. When God sent His son for you and me. We love to tell the story Of that night in Bethlehem Cause everytime that we tell it We get to celebrate the gift again When God sent His son for you.and..me.

#3 Great News There was a very bright light On a very dark night In the sky near Bethlehem Then an angel appeared Shepherds trembled with fear But the angel said to them I ve got great news You don t have to be afraid Great news Christ is born today You will find the little baby in a manger filled with hay He s come to rescue you And that s great news Verse 2: The shepherds looked up, And sure enough Many angels filled the sky Singing songs of praise Shepherds were amazed It was the best night of their lives Glo ria In excelsis De-o!

#4 Who, What, When? Who, What When, Why, where, how? This is what we want to know. Who, What, When, Why, Where, how? The star will show us the way to go Vs. 1 Will He come as a king with a shiny crown Will there be angels flying around Will the star in the sky always be this bright? So many things we wonder tonight? Vs. 2 (solo by Lyla Williams, kids do motions) Will He know who we are when we give Him our gifts Of gold, and myrrh, and frankincense? Can He be a baby and still be Lord? So many questions and we ve (spoken) STILL GOT MORE! Vs.3 (SOLO sung by Halle Davidson, kids do motions) Will He be sleeping or wide awake When we bow down to give Him praise? Will someone tell Herod we found the babe? Will we go home by a different way?

A star will show us the way to go. A star will show us the way- to- go! #5 SOLO Even when he saw my heart And knew what I would need God sent His son to save All those who would believe And out of his great love, Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The bible tells me so Even when he saw my heart And knew what I would need God sent His son to save

All those who would believe And out of his great love, #6 Great Big Story Reprise Bridge: It s the promise that we treasure; It s the greatest news ever It s amazing! (Spoken) No it s better! (This time with the tag) It s a great big story. It s a great big story of a great big love.
