My Song

hey guys. these are the words to the song I wrote this year for the compososition contest for piano.

O This Beautiful Christmas Night

Long was the night when darkness reigned
When men were bound in sin and death
No escape from hurt and pain
Not a sign of life or breath
But in due time the darkness broke
A quick’ning ray and night awoke
Oh world rejoice!
Oh world rejoice, tonight!

Chorus:
Tonight, tonight
Oh this beautiful Christmas night
Oh world rejoice, O beauty bright
Oh world rejoice, O sacred night
Tonight, tonight
O this beautiful Christmas night
The Christ is born!
The Christ is born, tonight!

Robed in glory, enthroned on high
One with God and God over all
Emptied Himself, born to die
Came down to erase the fall
Humbled Himself, became a man
Fulfilled the Father’s gracious plan
O beauty bright!
O beauty bright, tonight!

Repeat Chorus

Born a babe yet truly the king
Stars in heaven He knows by name
Hear o hear the angels sing
Guilty sinners He reclaimed
Tonight, this night for all to see
Christ the savior was born for thee
O sacred night!
O sacred night, tonight!

Repeat Chorus

That's really good!!! I haven't known very many people that write words for a song. For me I enjoy twisting songs around and making them funny. lol
So hope you have a good Christmas!
And May God continue to shine out for you.
