Words and Music by Chris Eaton
Christmas Eve, 2 am
Heavy snow is falling down
And the streets clothed in white
Echo songs that were sung by candlelight
We're alive, we can breathe
But do we really care for this world in need?
There's a choice we must make each and every day
So close your eyes and share the dream
Let everyone on earth believe
The Child was born, the stars shone bright
And Love came down at Christmas time
And Love came down at Christmas time
So Merry Christmas everyone
And Peace throughout the year
The time has come to celebrate
So let your voices fill the air
Everyone, watch and pray that the sun will shine on a brighter day
Join your hands, lift them high
For this gift of life
When Love came down at Christmas time
When Love came down at Christmas time
When Love came down at Christmas time
When Love came down at Christmas time
So close your eyes and share the dream
Let everyone on earth believe
The Child was born, the stars shone bright
And Love came down at Christmas time
And Love came down at Christmas time

She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral
Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing
She looked as if she had nowhere to go
I could see her weeping
Hands together hoping you would hear...
This is the time of year
We hold our families near
But God let us be a friend to the hurting
Oh Emmanuel, God with us
Spirit revealed in us
That we may be your hope to the world
Oh Emmanuel, God with us
With a light to break the darkness
That we may show your hope to the world
Emmanuel, God with us
Be God in us
I moved in closer just so I could see her face
Maybe she was a mother
Someone's only daughter
Her silver hair shimmered like the snow
Christmas bells were ringing
Now beside her kneeling I asked her name
(And she said)
This was the time of year
I had my family near
But they've all gone and I have been so lonely
(Chorus)
So with my family that Christmas day
A girl of sixty years would laugh and play
And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears...

Light of the world
Shine down on Bethlehem
God in His glory has sent us a Son
Shout from on high
And out in the street
Jesus our Savior is born!
Bright shining star
Shine down on everyone
God in His mercy has sent us a Son
The shepherds will cry
Praise to the Lord!
Jesus our Savior is born!
Alleluia baby Jesus
Alleluia baby Jesus
Jesus our Savior is born
Sing Alleluia
Light of the world
Shine down on Bethlehem
God in His glory has sent us a Son
Shout from on high
And out in the street
Jesus our Savior is born!
Alleluia baby Jesus
Alleluia baby Jesus
Jesus our Savior is born
Sing Alleluia

Written by Jeff Borders, Gayla Borders, Lowell Alexander
Kings of earth on a course unknown
Bearing gifts from afar
Hoping praying
Following yonder star
Silhouette of a caravan
Painted against the sky
Wise men searching
For the holy child
(Chorus)
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
One King held the hope of the world
A star hangs over Bethlehem
A journey ends in the night
Three kings trembling
Behold the glorious sight
Heaven's treasure Emmanuel
Drawing men to bow down
Tiny baby born to wear a crown
(Repeat Chorus)

Words & Music by Jeff borders, Gayla Borders, Lowell Alexander
Underneath the stars
Just a simple man and wife
Somewhere in the dark
His words cut the silent night
Take my hand, for the child
That you carry is God's own
And though it seems the road is long
(Chorus)
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Here all our hope and joy begins
For in our arms we'll cherish him
We're not that far, not that far from Bethlehem
Let us celebrate
As the Christmases go by
Learn to live our days
With our hearts near to the child
Ever drawn, ever close
To the only love that lasts
And though 2000 years have passed
(2nd Chorus)
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy began
For when our hearts still cherish him
We're not that far, not that far from Bethlehem
