Come in closer, I need you near
I have a song I want you to hear

Listen, it is blowing in the wind
It is inviting all of us to join in

A glow in the eastern sky sings
Angels watching us with wings

Dusting off each broken heart
Preparing us for our new start

A New Year is around the bend
Good News a Christ Child sends

His message is lowly and sweet
He cries and kicks his tiny feet,

“Be of strong will this Holy Night.
You are precious in God’s sight.
It is not what the world knows.
It is Light of Lights warm glow.
Into hearts His stars are falling.
We are one in a Father’s calling.
Away in a manger, a song plays.
My words will show you God’s way.
It is the gift that God’s love brings,
That will teach all children
To rise and jubilantly sing,
Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her King.”

Merry Christmas
