This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matt Maher. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Born On That Day.”
“I remembered these words that a friend of mine said to me coming out of church. He said I have a Christmas idea for you, ‘Oh what a day we’ll never be the same.’ That’s not a lot of words but I thought wow that’s a fresh way to say it. It’s true in the sense that Jesus was born and at the same time Christmas itself was born. It was born with Him.” – Matt Maher

“Born On This Day” Lyrics
Breaking the silence – Into the chaos you came
Born in our likeness
Held in the hands that you made
For our deliverance – Your promise was given a name
Chorus
Emmanuel – The God who saves
I hear a voice – From heaven declare
Prepare the way
Emmanuel – Oh praise the name
I hear the sound – Heaven cried out
And love made a way

Christmas was born on that day
Oh what a day – Oh what a day
Christmas was born on that day
Oh what a day – Oh what a day
Verse 2
As it is written – Jesus the glory of God
No reputation – You took on our flesh and blood
For our forgiveness
And for the world you so loved
Chorus
Bridge
Christmas was born – Your kingdom come
Glory to God with us
Angels adore – Bow down before
Glory to God with us
Christmas was born – Your kingdom come
Glory to God with us
Angels adore – Bow down before – Glory to God
Chorus
Tag 2
Christmas was born on that day
Oh what a day – Oh what a day
We’ll never be the same
Oh what a day – Oh what a day
Christmas was born on that day
