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?
