about

A musical surprise!!

lyrics

It was one night out in Bethlehem,
Where shepherds set to rest
It was one night out with the men
Doing what shepherds do best.

Some were on watch that night
Glancing at the sky
One waits up on watch’s sight
Pondering on high.

“No predators tonight,
But I see glory in the skies
No predators tonight
But there’s something bringing new Life.”

The shepherds trembled seeing the sight
The night it seemed was dawn
Fear as they looked up on high
But comfort was the angelic song.

The skies burst alight with holy fervor,
A host of God’s angels singing
A huge and expansive chorus
That had good tidings bringing.

“No darkness tonight
Do not be terrified
No darkness tonight,
For the King is born, the Messiah.”
“Where?” They asked “Do see this thing?
Where did this come from? What do we see?
That seems to be miraculous happenings
That from darkness we are freed?”

The angel in the host proclaimed
“You see a sign: A baby born, wrapped in cloth
Within a in a manger laid.”
Then the host a great song wrought:

“All glory tonight,
To God, in the highest heaven
All glory tonight,
And on earth, peace is given.”

The shepherds took heart
And they stood amazed,
“Let go see this child that’s been born
To free the day.”

The shepherds went to find the King
Who had been born,
Their excitement they proclaimed
For there was hope forevermore!

“All hope tonight
For our King is here,
All hope tonight
For now, we have nothing to fear.”
