As the World Slept Lyrics by NewSong

The Christmas Shoes

0

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
'Bout 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

While many still were praying
For a kingdom here on earth
Could it be that heaven's answer
Was in this baby's birth?

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

A Savior's born and all creation smiles

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, oh...
O could it really be that Mary did conceive
And bear the holy One, God's only Son
As the world slept, ooh...
