A Night For Jesus As Well

Rudolph and Santa saw the Christmas star,
            they knew not what it was ‘til stardust fell-
snow-capped pines whisper to them from afar
           that Christmas Eve was for Jesus as well.

They knew not what it was ‘til stardust fell,
            though they felt that it was the one true night
that Christmas Eve was for Jesus as well!
            They gazed at the utmost resplendent sight.

Though they felt that it was the one true night
            God birthed the most lovely baby Jesus,
they gazed at the utmost resplendent sight;
            for they know that He’s the one that frees us. 

God birthed the most lovely baby Jesus
            o’er the hillside encompassed by white drift-
for they know that He’s the one that frees us,
            for this night of wonder is a true gift.

O’er the hillside encompassed by white drift,
            the two of them decide it’s time to fly-
for this night of wonder is a true gift,
            seeing proud parents sing a lullaby.

The two of them decide it’s time to fly.
            Snow-capped pines whisper to them from afar-
seeing proud parents sing a lullaby…
            Rudolph and Santa saw the Christmas star.
