As The World Slept Lyrics

There were no palaces or crowns, majestic robes or gowns
Waiting for the coming of the King
They were looking for a sign, hope in desperate times
A miracle that only God could bring
Many still were dreaming about the day that He would come
Could it be that Bethlehem held the Chosen One

CHORUS:
As the world slept, one silent night
A Savior's born and all creation smiles
As the world slept, one holy night
And to the manger low crept Heaven's Child
O could it really be that Mary did conceive
And bear the holy One, God's only Son
As the world slept

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Behold, an angel from on high
Proclaimed to them the Prince of Peace had come
A star of wonder led the way to the stable where He lay
The gift of love from God to everyone
Many still were praying for a kingdom here on earth
Could it be that heaven's answer was in this baby's birth?

CHORUS
