2000 Decembers Ago

2000 Decembers Ago

Did It Feel Like a Night Any Different
Then At Least a Million Before
Was There Any Rare Expectation
Like There Was Some Kind of Somethin' in Store
Did the Sky Have to Hold Back the Thunder
Did the Moon Find New Reasons to Glow
Could the Children Somehow Sense the Wonder
2000 Decembers Ago

Were the Sheep As Amazed As the Shepherds
At the New Star That Lite Up the Sky
Did the Willow Trees Whisper Excitement
To the Rivers and Streams Passing By
Did the Joy Ricochet Off the Mountains
'til It Filled Up the Valleys Below
Did All the World Sense Love Abounding
2000 Decembers Ago

Was Anyone Able to Look At the Stable
And Not See a Child But a King
I Wish I Could Hear Back Over the Years
As Heaven & Nature Sing, Heaven and Nature Sing.

Did the Walls of the Barn Start to Tremble
With a Glory They Could Not Contain
Did Anyone Wake With the Feeling
Of Peace That They Could Not Explain
Oh the Love Must Have Been Overwhelming
As It Warmed Everyone in Its Flow
For All of the Earth Is Still Telling
Of 2000 Decembers Ago

Was Anyone Able to Look At the Stable
And Not See a Child But a King
I Wish I Could Hear Back Over the Years
As Heaven and Nature Sing, Heaven and Nature Sing
Oh the Love Must Have Been Overwhelming
