In a world of lies and twisted tales,

How would your truth reach our ears?

Where bullies shout and pride wins out,

Could words of peace calm our fears?

              Prophets whispering in the dark

              Waking hearts to seek

              Your pre-existent spark.

 

2. For a weary world of pain and loss     

How did You know it was time?

When powerful men held all the cards

How would you give them a sign?

              Eastern eyes searching the skies

              Journey west to seek

              a king who will arise.

 

Chorus

              Will we ever see the light

              From that monumental night?

                             Christmas is near.

 

3. Though the world was deaf and blind to hope,

You kept on watching in love.

Rebellion brewed; oppressors laughed.

While angels gathered above.

              Gabriel greets the favoured one:

              ‘God is with you and

              will bless you with His Son.’

​

 Chorus

​

4. So the child was born in Bethlehem-

You’ve heard the story before.

This spark of love, invites us all:

Come now to kneel and adore.

              Hallelujah for the Son

              Gave his life to show

              us what we could become.

 

              Will we ever see the light

              From that monumental night?

              Will we ever see the light

              From that monumental night?

                             Jesus is here, Jesus is here.
