Lyrics
A Christmas Song
Was it calm and was it bright,
Or filled with travelers in flight,
Seeking shelter, food and light,
The night when Christ was born?
Was there really peace on earth,
Or chaos at this baby?s birth,
A weary world in search of worth,
The night when Christ was born?
When shepherds watched a shining star,
And wise men traveled from afar.
And angel choirs began to sing
In honor of this? King!
Can you hear his cry above the din?
Will there be room inside the inn?
Will you open up and let him in?
This tiny newborn King.
Can you hear his cry above the roar?
Will you bow your knee upon the floor?
Will you worship, honor, and adore?
This tiny newborn King.
While shepherds watch a shining star.
Wise men travel from afar.
Angel choirs begin to sing
In honor of this? King!
Bridge: And a star still shines and His love still reigns
And shepherds watch for shining stars.
Wise men still travel from afar.
And angel choirs break forth & sing
In honor of this? King!
