A CHRISTMAS ODYSSEY

 

Sleigh bells ringing

Choir boys singing

Children sleeping under a bright star

The air is filled with expectation

No matter where you are.

 

(Short instrumental interlude)

 

Waking early in the morning

Hoorah!  It is Christmas Day

Sharing all those festive presents

Laid under a Christmas tree

Within the bosom of the family

What more should it be?

 

(Short instrumental interlude)

 

Well, if you don’t know

It began long ago

One starry night

Some shepherds took fright

Stunned, for they saw an Angelic light

And from the East

Three Magis came far

Guided the were

By a bright shining star.

 

(Short instrumental interlude)

 

There they found a little baby

Unaware of his destiny

Lying peaceful in a manger

If only the world could see

And hear the Angels sing his Glory

A Saviour for you and me  

Born to us the Son of Man

That we might be reborn again

And here began the timeless story ….

Now as we lay

Dawns a new Christmas Day

Imagine it all

Just what if He may

Come back again

To rejoin us today

With His message of love

For all humanity.

 

(Short instrumental interlude)

 

Rising early Christmas morning

Reminded of what it all means

Through His Grace and deprivation

We are blessed for all eternity

Hailed from Heavenly realms

Christmas Day, Christmas Day.

 

(Short instrumental interlude)

 

So when you hear

Those sleigh bells ringing

And Santas on his way

Remember all, when on this morning

A precious child was born this day.
