Christ-Mass: The Vigil

+    +    +

I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift?
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

+    +    +

A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon

There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay?
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah

Hallelujah

+    +    +

The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You

It was just as the angels said
You'll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

+    +    +

A star shown bright up in the east
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You

And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah

Hallelujah

+    +    +

I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you

My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah

+    +    +

(H/T to Thomas John.)
