THE BIRTH

 

Written by Dave Howard and Greg Wray

 

The night was calm and quiet the stars were shining bright
When suddenly I came to see a vision in the night
An angel of the Lord had come at first I was afraid
But then I knelt and soon I felt the fear begin to fade 

It sang to me a message in an angelic voice
The time has come to bang the drum to sing and to rejoice
A miracle is happening tonight in Bethlehem
And you should go so you may know the gift of God to man 

Since the time Eve and Adam walked upon the earth
The story of a Savior has been told
Might it be tonight’s the night and with this special birth
The glory of God’s plan may now unfold 

So I began my journey with confidence and pride
Because I prayed that He would aid me on my special ride
A star I’d never seen before descended from the sky
To guide the way and help me stay beneath His wondrous eye 

I came upon a village a crowd had gathered ‘round
The star was there to show us where the Baby could be found
He was in a stable because the inn was out of space
So there He lay atop the hay the glory of the race 

Since the time Eve and Adam walked upon the earth
The story of a Savior has been told
Might it be tonight’s the night and with this special birth
The glory of God’s plan may now unfold 

Three men were at a manger adorned in silk and fur
I saw them hold the gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh
They bowed their heads in silent prayer toward the resting Child
And I could swear as they were there the little Baby smiled 
I then approached the manger alive with hope and joy

Without a sound I hit the ground and I worshipped that Boy
The light of God surrounded Him unfolding like a fan
And then I knew that it was true He was the Son of Man

Since the time Eve and Adam walked upon the earth
The story of a Savior has been told
Now I know tonight’s the night and with this sacred birth
The glory of God’s plan will now unfold

My story hasn’t ended in fact it’s just begun
Because I now will make a vow to God and everyone
That I will live my life the way I know He wants me to
So join with me and we will see the wonders He can do
