As the World Slept Lyrics

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 about the day that He would come
Could it be that Bethlehem held the Chosen One
CHORUS:
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
Many still were praying for a kingdom here on earth
Could it be that heaven�s answer was in this baby�s birth?
CHORUS
