I could hardly see at all.
The music in my ears:
Such a heav’nly call!
As I stood I felt a wonder
That I’ve never felt before.
Although my heart was full
I just wanted more.
We heard angels sing on high:
Our Saviour had been born!
Praises filled the sky!
So the celebration started
As the life of Christ began.
The King of love was born
For the sake of man.
One bright star shone out that night,
Bringing hope to all mankind.
One bright star shone out to say: ‘He is born!’
One bright star that promised peace
And no more fighting,
One bright star, (One bright star)
Just one bright star, (One bright star)
Just one bright star to take us there:
Then we knew just what to do,
So we ran to find the child,
To seek the new-born King,
Welcome Him in style.
And we gave our minds and hearts
On this very special night
To baby Jesus,
Son of Man and God’s pure light.
One bright star shone out that night,
Bringing hope to all mankind.
One bright star shone out to say: ‘He is born!’
One bright star that promised peace
And no more fighting,
One bright star, (One bright star)
Just one bright star, (One bright star)
Just one bright star to take us there:
... One bright star!
One bright star!
One bright star!
One bright star!
