Intro

Verse 1

 Did it feel like a night any different

 Then at least a million before

 Was there any rare expectation

 Like there was some kind of something in store

 Did the sky have to hold back the thunder

 Did the moon find new reasons to glow

 Could the children somehow sense the wonder

 Two thousand Decembers ago

Verse 2

 Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds

 At the new star that lit up the sky

 Did the willow trees whisper excitement

 To the rivers and streams passing by

 Did the joy ricochet off the mountains

 'Til it filled up the valleys below

 Did all the world sense love abounding

 Two thousand Decembers ago

Chorus

 Was anyone able to look at the stable

 And not see a child but a King

 I wish I could hear back over the years

 As heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing.

Verse 3

Did the walls of the barn start to tremble

With a glory they could not contain

Did anyone wake with the feeling

Of peace that they could not explain

Oh the love must have been overwhelming

As it warmed everyone in its flow

For all of the earth is still telling

Of two thousand Decembers ago

Was anyone able to look at the stable

And not see a child but a king

I wish I could hear back over the years

As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing

Oh the love must have been overwhelming

Two thousand Decembers ago
