That Blessed Night


Oh…Blessed night…Oh…Starry night
The night a baby was born
The night life was forever transformed

The night was like no other
For this night a virgin became a mother
A mother to a Son
A mother to the One

The One that was waited for
The One that was prayed for
He came as light in the night
He came to make all things right

A little manger in a little stall
Mary and Joseph made the haul
Taxes brought them there
But His birth paid the fare

A mother and a father celebrated
As shepherds hyperventilated
For this Baby wasn’t just part of the plan
No…this Baby was the plan

“For unto you is born”, words that shook the earth
As the heavens celebrated our Savior’s birth
“Glory to God in the highest” was their song
A thousand angels sang along

Songs of praise for a King
Finally a chance for freedom to ring
Freedom from sin and death
Because Jesus took that first breath

Praise God for that night
Praise God for His foresight
We were hopeless and afraid
Yet God paved the way

So celebrate this season of wonder
And don’t let the world take you asunder
Our focus should not be on “me”
But instead on He

A King born that special night
A Savior that brought us life
A Counselor to the hurting
A Messiah to the undeserving

Oh…Blessed night…oh…Starry night
The night a baby was born
The night life was forever transformed
