Christmas Song

A few years ago, I wrote a Christmas poem that I really liked. David put it to music and added a chorus. Now I like it even more. The lyrics are below. You can go to here to listen to David sing the song.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas

And all through the inn,

Not a creature was stirring

Though filled to the brim.

While out in the stable 

A candle burned bright

As a husband kept vigil

All through the night.

On that night,

That still, still night

The Savior came

Into the world.

The cattle were lowing

A hush in the air

For the animals knew

Christ soon would be there.

While shepherds kept watch

In their own humble way.

Wise men saw the star

That signaled the day.

On that night,

That still, still night

The Savior came

Into the world.

The Christ child was born 

On a bed of new hay

To a world unaware

Of where the king lay.

Later the shepherds

And wisemen would come,

But for now it was Mary

Just holding her son.

On that night,

That still, still night,

The Savior came

Into the world.

On that night, 

that still, still night

Our Christmases began.
