If I knew then what I know now
Things would be different somehow
I’d gladly offer them the best I could give
If I only I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now
Before His manger bed I would bow
Just like the shepherds filled with wonder at this sight
The miracle of heaven born that night

Whoever thought that a manger stall
Would cradle the King and the Lord of all
And who would have thought on that wonderous night
Heaven would send us a holy light
Now we know more than they did

We now know more than they did
About the child of Bethlehem
He is my Savior and I’ll worship Him alone
I choose for Him to make my heart His home
Now we know more than they did

We know more than they did
One day our Lord will come again
Not as a baby in bed of straw and hay
But as the mighty King and Lord of all

Who would have thought
He would change my heart
Forgive all my sin make a brand new start
And who would have thought that a lowly birth
One day would reign over all the earth

If I knew then what I know now
Before His manger bed I’d bow
Just like the shepherds filled with wonder at this sight
The miracle of heaven born that night
The miracle of heaven born that night
