Lyrics Bush Christmas - John Edmond

Christ was born so long ago in Israel far away
but yet His teachings are alive around the world today;
His spirit lives in Africa, the cradle of mankind
And she once gave Him refuge when He was but a child.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same star
That shone above the place where Christ was born.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same sky
That rang with hope across the world that morn.
His peace is in the breeze that sweeps the vast Savanna plain,
His glory's in the sunset and His mercy's in the rain.
His power is in the thunder of a wild African storm;
His love has never failed us since the day that He was born.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same star
That shone above the place where Christ was born.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same sky
That rang with hope across the world that morn.
The people in that holy land were modest people then;
Shepherds, workers of the field and simple fishermen.
A King was born among the beasts to a humble carpenter
And when He comes again He may be born in Africa.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same star
That shone above the place where Christ was born.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same sky
That rang with hope across the world that morn.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same star
That shone above the place where Christ was born.
And it's Bush Christmas under the very same sky
That rang with hope across the world that morn
