After the angel¡¯s song
|
Everyone held their breath
|
As the darkness rushed back in upon those shepherd boys
|
Staring into the night
|
Climbing up off their knees
|
With their hearts on fire, they were trembling with fear and joy
|
|
Gloria, Gloria!
|
It was a choir of angels singing
|
The shepherd¡¯s ears were ringing
|
They were ringing with
|
Gloria, Gloria!
|
Now everything is going to change
|
Christ the Lord is born today
|
|
Racing down from the hills
|
Running like children run
|
Reckless and wild with a song that made them young again
|
As the field beneath their feet
|
Turned into city streets
|
They were crying out have you heard, have you heard oh Bethlehem?!
|
|
Gloria, Gloria!
|
It was a choir of angels singing
|
The shepherd¡¯s ears were ringing
|
They were ringing with
|
Gloria, Gloria!
|
Now everything is going to change
|
Christ the Lord is born today
|
|
In a land under the rule
|
Of the priests and kings
|
Only shepherds heard the song
|
That the angels sing
|
The humble are the keepers of the secrets of the Kingdom that is coming
|
With a song that will break upon the world like 10,000 horses running
|
|
Gloria, Gloria!
|
The shepherds they were singing
|
Now all our ears are ringing
|
They¡¯re still ringing with
|
Gloria, Gloria!
|
Now everything is going to change
|
Christ the Lord is born today
|
Gloria, glory to God, glory to God!
|
Gloria, glory to God, glory to God
|
In excelsius Deo
|
|
One day he¡¯ll come again
|
To bring us a brand new song
|
But till then we¡¯ll sing along with those shepherd boys
|
