This Sacred Night of Nights Lyrics

I was just walking by, cold wind upon my face,

Saw a man with tired eyes, in a humble resting place.

Beside him was a woman, her time was drawing near,

And in that quiet stable, he made her bed with care.

There was a big, bright star, hanging low in the sky,

Like a beacon of wonder, lighting up the night.

Strangers gathered 'round, drawn from far and wide,

For something's stirring, something holy,

On this sacred night of nights.

Then came three kings from foreign lands, their camels tied outside,

Wearing robes of silk and gold, but they knelt down by her side.

I saw shepherds from the hillside, with their sheep in tow,

Whispers on the night breeze, "There's something here to know."

There was a big, bright star, hanging low in the sky,

Like a beacon of wonder, lighting up the night.

Strangers gathered 'round, drawn from far and wide,

For something's stirring, something holy,

On this sacred night of nights.

It wasn't a palace or a grand hotel,

Just a stable filled with hay's soft smell.

But we felt it in the silence, as the night stood still,

That heaven had come closer, in a place so plain and still.

I watched with curious eyes, hearts burning warm and bright,

As whispers turned to praises in that star's wondrous light.

And though I didn't know then what I felt inside,

There was peace upon the air, and joy I couldn't hide.

There was a big, bright star, hanging low in the sky,

Like a beacon of wonder, lighting up the night.

Strangers gathered 'round, drawn from far and wide,

For something's stirring, something holy,

On this sacred night of nights.

Yes, I was just walking by, didn't know what it could mean,

But I knew I'd seen a miracle, right here in Bethlehem's scene.

For in that humble stable, under heaven's guiding light,

A king was born among us, on this sacred, night of nights
