about

My only attempt to write a Christmas / Holiday song . Hence the name of the CD , One , being the only song on the CD with a Christmas theme . The Other Plus Six are secular songs .

lyrics

Let the birds in the night keep singing
Let the bells in the tower keep ringing.
Hear their chimes, a child was born today
Let the light of his grace keep shining
Let the words of the poets keep rhyming
Let their words of wisdom, lead the way,
For the stars will shine bright .
As a stillness falls upon this sacred night.

CHORUS
The Winter sky’s a glow
As a child in swaddling clothes
Lay in a manger on a bed of hay.
As the snow lay on the ground
The humble will gather ‘round
For the Prince of Peace was born on Christmas Day.

Let the guns and the tanks be silent
Let the strength of peace be defiant
Let its reign of reason rule the day
Let the greedy hands start giving
Let the deadened souls start living,
Let us help the lost to find their way
For the mighty will fall.
Just as sure as the meek will one day, stand tall.

CHORUS

Let the cold hearts warm with feeling
Let the bitter rifts start healing
Let the closed minds open up their doors.
Let the suffering child stop crying
Let the innocent stop dying
Let us ban forever needless wars.
For the dream can come true
If you let His Light shine on you.

The winter sky’s aglow
As a child in swaddling clothes
Lay in a manger on a bed of hay.
And the snow lay on the ground
The humble will gather ‘round
For the Prince of Peace was born this Christmas Day

Let the birds in the night keep singing
Let the bells in the tower keep ringing.
The Prince of Peace was born on Christmas Day.
