Christmas In the Country
by Homecoming Friends

Album: He Started the Whole World Singing


Oh, there's nothing quite like Christmas in the county
The simple joy of family by the fire
And Carols ringing out across the valley
The neighbors that make up the village choir

Oh, the joy of Christmas in the country
The love and warmth of gentle memories
And going back to a simple old love story
It's waiting in the country just for me

Come and see what's happenin' in the barn!
I've seen nothin' like this since I've been on this farm!
Those strangers that camped out there have a baby in their arms
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn!

Must have been sometime 'bout close to midnight
A big ole' guy came knockin' at my door
He said his wife was about to have a baby
And she just couldn't travel anymore.
I said the rooms had all been rented out
But they'd find shelter out there in the barn
They could throw some blankets in the stable;
At least, they would be dry and safe from harm.

Come and see what's happenin' in the barn!
I've seen nothin' like this since I've been on this farm!
Those strangers that camped out there have a baby in their arms
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn!

Come and see, Come and see
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn! (x3)

Kings and shepherds make their way
Straight to where the Baby lay;
Rich and poor and lonely
Bow before this sight.
A star has led them to this place.
The Word that's been echoing through space
Becomes a Child tonight.

Light to shine in the darkest night,
Light to make all the wrong things right.
Light to show everyone the way,
Light to shine where the virgin lay.
Star of David, the prophet's star,
Yahweh, God come to where we are.
Star to mark the Messiah's birth,
Star of Heaven now touches earth tonight.

Angel voices fill the air,
Angel wings are everywhere.
Light so bright it's blinding,
Shepherds shake with fright.
A warmth begins to flood the hill.
"Fear not!" Peace to you, goodwill, comes to earth tonight.

Light to shine in the darkest night,
Light to make all the wrong things right.
Light to show everyone the way,
Light to shine where the virgin lay.
Star of David, the prophet's star,
Yahweh, God come to where we are.
Star to mark the Messiah's birth,
Star of Heaven now touches earth tonight

Light to shine in the darkest night,
Light to make all the wrong things right.
Light to show everyone the way,
Light to shine where the virgin lay.
Star of David, the prophet's star,
Yahweh, God come to where we are.
Star to mark the Messiah's birth,
Star of Heaven now touches earth tonight.
Tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, Tonight, tonight,
