I'm sorry, but Josh Turner's song The First Nowell is a traditional Christmas carol that simply retells the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 2. The song talks about how an angel announced the birth of Jesus to shepherds in a field, who then went to see the baby in a manger. The story also includes the arrival of Wise Men from the East, who followed a star to find the newborn King. The song's refrain, "Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel!" is a celebration of Jesus’ birth and the recognition that He is the long-awaited Messiah, the King of Israel.
