Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born.
|
|
Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn.
|
|
We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth.
|
|
no way to escape.
|
|
In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace ,and no light
|
|
but that was the night before Christmas.
|
|
Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet.
|
|
Praying godspeed the dawn.
|
|
She looks to her man, holding her hand. They wonder how long.
|
|
And the shepherds, wise men come to find them, and bow to a king.
|
|
One star above shining on love, so bright it lit up the night before Christmas.
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
And the world didnt know mercy was meek and so mild.
|
|
And the world didnt know that truth was as pure as a child.
|
|
The night before Christmas.
|
|
The night before Christmas.
|
|
And the world didnt know, redemption was sweet and so strong. And the world didnt know salvation was writing a song.
|
|
The night before christmas.
|
|
The night before christmas.
|
|
The night before christmas.
|
|
Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born.
