Christmas Star
On that magic night in Bethlehem, on the birthday of our Lord
The angels sang and the heavens rang with tidings of great joy
And on that night, an angel’s choir had journeyed from afar
The greatest gift that God could give became the Christmas Star
There’s a light that shines on everyone
Burning brighter everyday
For the souls who search for peace on earth
It’s the Christmas star that lights the way
All the wandering flock the shepherds watched
Is still the same today
Returning every child above who’s ever gone astray
There’s a light that shines on everyone
Burning brighter everyday
For the souls who search for peace on earth
It’s the Christmas star that lights the way
There’s a light everyone can see
(There’s a light everyone can see)
A song for every heart to see
(Every heart to see)
There’s a light shining from above
(There’s a light shining from above)
Giving everlasting love
There’s a promise in the prophecy
That wise men will behold
A son for all eternity and so the story’s told
There’s a light that shines on everyone
Burning brighter everyday
For the souls who search for peace on earth
It’s the Christmas star that lights the way
Christmas star, oh, Christmas star
(Oh, the Christmas star burning brighter)
Oh ah
(Every day)
Oh, Christmas star
(Christmas star, oh light the way)
Oh ah
(Christmas star that lights the way)
