Young and poor and on the outskirts
On her way to start an unassuming life
An angel comes and says, "The Lord is with you
You will have a child, before you're a wife"
She says: "I will obey
May it be just as you say"
And so the lowest of the low was the very first to know
That the Savior of the world would come
Outsiders on the outskirts
Uncouth, unkempt and always kept away
The angels come and say, "Don't be afraid
The Son of God is born, and in a manger lays"
They say, "How can this be?
Let's go and see"
And so the lowest of the low were the very first to know
That the Savior of the world had come
Gloria in excelsis, in excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis, in excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Renegade on the outskirts
Says the least, the last, the lost are richly blessed
Come to Me all who are weary, burdened, broken and oppressed
And I will give you rest
My Father's kingdom is reversed
The first are last and last are first
And so the lowest of the low will be the the very first to go
'Cause the Savior of the world has come
'Cause the Savior of the world has come
The Savior of the world has come
Gloria in excelsis, in excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis, in excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo
