Advent-to-Christmas Story
Suggested Price: $0.00Advent-to-Christmas StoryAdd to cartOriginal lyrics set to the tune of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Most effective as a solo. Free to copy and use. Or you can pay-what-you-like to donate. Lyrics: In the darkest time of year, a time of hope, and a time of fear, the prophet says that God is coming to you. And so we turn from greed and hate, still learning to pray and watch and wait, and sing our fragile, hopeful hallelujah. Hallelujah... Young Mary said her “Yes” to him, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and laid him in a manger, that'll do you. The light of love shone in the night. The shepherds came to see the sight, and angels sang a glorious Hallelujah. Hallelujah... Some wise men traveled from afar, just following such a tiny star, as if its simple light could shine right though you. They gave their treasures to the king, who makes you want to serve and sing, who tells you you can be his Hallelujah. Hallelujah... -

Hear an audio clip in the Product Description below. Lyrics: One winter night the woods were bare and cold as cold could be. A bird, while singing, wove a nest up in a barren tree. “Dear bird, “I said, “you have no young, and soon the snow will fall. Why do you build this winter nest, so fragile and so small?” “There is a gentle child,” she said, “whose coming is foretold: he comes from God to warm our wintry hearts when they're cold. My nest is small but it is all I can provide a guest. If he should come this way I pray he finds a little rest.” Now the woods are still, the bird is gone, the nest has filled with snow. But still the dear bird warms my heart, as she did long ago. O holy child, I long for such a loving guest as thee. Like her, I offer you my heart to make your nest in me.
