"Midnight"
Mark and Helen Johnson
Midnight -
There's the strangest feeling in the air tonight,
There's something going on but I can't make it out,
I wonder what it's all about?
Starlight -
Breaking through the darkness in the dead of night,
Illuminates the path that takes you out of sight,
And all the way to Bethlehem.
Tonight's events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.
Angels -
Taking care of things that only they can do,
Are waiting in the wings to bring the joyful news,
It's going to turn the world around.
Strangers -
Having made arrangements for a night or two,
Have found accommodation in the crowded rooms.
The house is packed in Bethlehem.
Tonight's events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.
Shepherds -
Minding their own business looking after things,
Are startled by an unexpected happening,
As angel choirs appear to them.
Wise men -
Taking charts and telescopes and compasses,
Investigate the star that takes them traveling,
Until they come to Bethlehem.
Tonight's events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.
Tonight's events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.
