Lyrics The Night Before Christmas - Brandon Heath

Empty manger, perfect stranger
About to be born
Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness
Creation so torn
We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth
No way to escape
In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace
And no light

But that was the night before Christmas

Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet
Praying Godspeed the dawn
She looks to her man, holding her hand
They wonder how long
And the shepherds, wise men come to find them
And bow to a king
One star above shining on love
So bright

It lit up the night before Christmas

And the world didn't know
Mercy was meek and so mild
And the world didn't know
The truth was as pure as a child

The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

And the world didn't know
Redemption was sweet and so strong
And the world didn't know
Salvation was writing a song

The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

Empty manger, perfect stranger
About to be born
