lyrics

Verse 1: Holy night/The stars are brightly shining/It is the night/Of our dear Saviour’s birth/Long lay the world/In sin and error pining/’Til He appeared/And the soul felt its worth/A thrill of hope/The weary world rejoices/For yonder breaks/A new and glorious morn

Chorus: Fall on your knees/Oh hear the angel voices/Oh night divine/Oh night when Christ was born/Oh night divine/Oh night, oh night divine

Verse 2: Just another peaceful night/The moon, the stars alight/Suddenly I had a dream/That pinned me to my sheets in fright/An angel stood before me/Now I'm surrounded by heavenly glory/And then what he told me/That Mary and I had a part in the story/Mary would carry a son/And he will be the promised one/The messiah was coming/The battle with sin was about to be won/But I wish I had known/We'd soon be leaving our home/My wife on a donkey/About to bear the child of the One on the throne/Back in my forefathers town/I head to the inn - not a room can be found/All we were able to find was a stable/A barn where mud and hay cover the ground/Surely this isn't Your chosen place/The Christ born here in disgrace/But then I see his face/And all of my fears give way to faith

Verse 3: God the Creator, God the Destroyer, God the Redeemer of entire worlds/God the egg growing inside an average teenage girl/Who’s hunched over the toilet with swears, sweat and prayers ready to hurl/And as the waters swirl our salvation starts to unfurl/Kinda crazy, I know, but that’s the way the old story goes/Right from the beginning we’ve got a God of the living who grows/Relates and shows a love for what He creates and knows/The earth and us to which it gives birth, a God who joins us in the dirt/In the dung of a stable everyone joins round the table/There’s a baby in the cradle and I don’t think I’ll ever be able/To fully describe that first cry amidst genocide on that starry night/They were terrified but love puts fear to flight; it’s gonna be alright
