Do You Hear What I Hear

I wandered about on a cold Christmas night Listening to carols sung in the distance Voices singing about the baby Jesus Could it be true that Jesus came to save me? Could it be true that Jesus came to save me? On this cold night it was so hard to believe My hands ached and my face felt the winds sting Their voices kept coming closer and closer Their voices kept coming closer and closer It felt like they were singing only to me There was a sudden urge to just run away I was so ashamed of my tattered old clothes I was so ashamed of my tattered old clothes Yet these angelic ones sang to my sad heart One man removed his coat and gave it to me At that moment what they sang felt like the truth! At that moment what they sang felt like the truth "Away in a manger no crib for a bed" "The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head." My heart then was flooded with heavenly light As I listened to the next song "Oh Holy Night"!
