I was awakened on a Christmas night
Somebody shaking me and shining a light
“Wake up the winter is here
And snow is falling on the groundâ€
Out of the window ‘twas a magic sight
And for a little boy it was a magic night
My friends were playing outside
And snow was tumbling on the ground
And we saw a thousand candles in the night
Moving to the church upon the hill
When the people saw us they said “come insideâ€
And the song that night they sing it still
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who came to the world on this night
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who came to the world, to the world
We are here to celebrate the birth of a child
Who came to the world
We are here to celebrate the life of a child
Who gave to the world
His love
I was awakened on a Christmas night…
