SOLO         So many centuries of watching and waiting

                 But when the moment came well nobody saw

                 Traders and travellers hurried by

                 And life went on just like before

CHORUS    Nothing will ever be the same again

                 This night has changed everything

                 Nothing will ever be the same again

                 Since the night he came

                 (Bold indicates where choir sings with solo)

SOLO         In all the clamour just a new baby crying

                  One more poor familty shut out on the cold

                  Nothing unusual sad to say

                  Hasn’t it always been this way

                  CHORUS

VERSE        So rare we recognise our history in the making

                  Meet angels unawares and pass on our way

                  Blind to the moment of destiny

                  While precious years just slip away, just slip away

                  CHORUS       

BRIDGE      A child is born

                  A son is given

                  And his kingdom of peace will never end

                  A child is born

                  A son is given

                  And his kingdom of peace will never end, never end

                  CHORUS

VERSE        And now a door is standing open before you

                  Casting its light into the darkness around

                  Stop for a moment, step inside

                  Tonight could be your Bethlehem

                  CHORUS x2
