What Sweeter Music |
Than a carol, for to sing |
The birth of this our heavenly King? |
Awake the voice! |
Awake the string! |
When children would reach for their stockings |
And open the presents they found |
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes |
Reflecting the love all around |
He leaned with his head on the window |
Watching evergreen bend in the snow |
Remembering Christmas the way it had been |
So many seasons ago |
This year there’s no one to open the gifts |
No reason for trimming the tree |
And just as a tear made it’s way to the floor |
He heard voices outside start to sing |
What sweeter music can we bring, |
Than a carol for to sing |
The birth of this our heavenly King? |
Awake the voice! |
Awake the string! |
Carolers sang as he opened the door |
Faces of friends in the crowd |
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders |
Driven away by the sound |
Now the heart that for years had been silent |
Was suddenly filled with the new King |
As he clung to their hands like a child in the night |
He found herself this revelling |
What sweeter music can we bring, |
Than a carol for to sing |
The birth of this our heavenly King? |
The birth of this our heavenly King? |
