Christmas Must Be Tonight Songtext

von Joan Osborne

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the Prince of peace
Wheels start turning, torches start burning
Behold wise men journey from the East

How a little baby Boy bringing people so much joy?
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice saying, "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King"

How a little baby Boy bringing people so much joy?
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, He was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

How a little baby Boy bringing people so much joy?
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
