As The World Slept

歌詞

There were no palaces or crowns, majestic robes or gowns Waiting for the coming of the King They were looking for a sign, hope in desperate times A miracle that only God could bring Many still were dreaming about the day that He would come Could it be that Bethlehem held the Chosen One As the world slept, one silent night A Savior's born and all creation smiles As the world slept, one holy night And to the manger low crept Heaven's Child O could it really be that Mary did conceive And bear the holy One, God's only Son As the world slept While shepherds watched their flocks by night Behold, an angel from on high Proclaimed to them the Prince of Peace had come A star of wonder led the way to the stable where He lay The gift of love from God to everyone Many still were praying for a kingdom here on earth Could it be that heaven's answer was in this baby's birth?
