Good King Joy |
Joy to the world |
The Lord has come |
Let earth |
Receive her king |
Now it was long ago |
When it all began |
Back in Bethlehem |
In the promised land |
When a single star |
Appeared in the sky |
And three kings saw |
And they each asked why |
Asked why… |
And they checked the books |
Full of prophecy |
And the one king said |
Why it’s plain to me |
You see it means |
That a king is born |
Who will save mankind |
On this blessed morn |
Blessed morn… |
So they packed some gold |
Myrrh and frankincense |
On some old camel |
With some fancy tents |
Closed down the house |
Set the servants free |
And three kings rode |
Into history |
History… |
It was long ago |
In a foreign land |
When the Lord looked down |
Said to make a stand |
So He sent His son |
And said, 'through him you’ll know me!' |
You’ll know me |
Then the angels came |
And when they start to sing |
All at once the past |
It doesn’t mean a thing |
And the star comes out |
And the wise men say, Hey show me! |
Oh, show me |
And they followed it |
Over hills and sand |
Til' they found the child |
Like it all was planned |
And as they knelt before |
The newborn king |
The angel’s were singing |
In their angel style |
How all of our hopes |
Had come down to this child |
THEN HE REACHED FOR THE SONG |
AND HE HELD IT IN HIS HAND |
(IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HE DID |
BECAUSE ANGELS CAN) |
AND HE WONDERED TO HIMSELF |
«IT THIS THE ANSWER THAT I SOUGHT» |
BUT SOMETHING WAS STILL MISSING |
OR AT LEAST SO HE STILL THOUGHT |
AND SO HE JOURNEYED ON |
THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT WINTER AIR |
WHEN ALL AT ONCE OUR ANGEL |
FELT THE TOUCH OF A MAN’S PRAYER |
AND LOOKING ONCE MORE TO THE EARTH |
TO DETERMINE WHENCE IT CAME |
HE FELT A MILLION SOULS BELOW |
BUT ONE WAS NOT THE SAME |
FOR THERE HE SAW A MAN ALONE |
THOUGH HE WAS WALKING IN A CROWD |
AND THOUGH THIS MAN HAD RARELY PRAYED |
TONIGHT HIS HEAD WAS BOWED |
FOR EVEN IN A CROWD, YOU SEE |
A HEART CAN FEEL ALONE |
WHEN THE NIGHT IS CHRISTMAS EVE |
A CHILD IS NOT AT HOME |
SO FROM A FATHER TO THE LORD |
A PRAYER DID SWIFTLY RACE |
BUT THE ANGEL SAW IT FIRST |
AND HE LISTENED TO ITS CASE |
