When the angels came
When the angels came
To spread their wings over Ephratah
Not a snow flake fell
Not a sleigh bell rang
Just the sound of a thousand divine voices:
So this is christmas.
When the girl gave birth
When the girl gave birth
The universe seemed to hold its breath.
Without a place to stay
Without lights in the trees
Just the silent cries of a new born baby
So this is christmas.
And the shepherds yelled!
And the wise men knelt
They were the first to witness peace on earth
The birthday boy
In his birthday suit
Is the king of the good, the bad and you
So this is christmas.
Gloria! All the people standing in the line for the foodbank
Gloria! All the people spending nights on a parkbench
Gloria! All the people shopping online for latest trends
Gloria! It's that time of year again
Repeat the sound of joy!
Angels came from out of space
Peace on earth is here to stay
For God so loved the galaxy
We're the Christmas family
