Rhesa and Paul wrote the wonderful music for this song. As it got closer to Christmas, Paul figured out it was actually a Christmas song. Paul and I added the lyrics. - Elton, October 14, 2004



Lyrics

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
A star shines down from Heaven
To shepherds in a field
Their loneliness shall fade away
As a myst'ry is revealed

(Verse 2)
An angel stands before them
Our shepherds are afraid
Yet His light has shown, they're not alone
To share this Christmas day

(Chorus)
I bring to you, great news of joy
Goodwill and peace on earth
A child awaits in Bethlehem so near
Come celebrate His birth

(Verse 3)
They journey to the stable
His star has shown the way
The shepherds find the child of God
In a manger in the hay

(Chorus 2)
They sing a song of hope and joy
Goodwill and peace on earth
And spread the news all across the land
To celebrate His birth

(Tag Ending)
Born this day is Jesus
A child has come to save us
Celebrate far and wide the wonder of His birth

Ed Thompson2007-12-13Thanks for making this song available it is fantastic, great words and a great melody. I am using it this year at our Church. May God Bless for you all you do in His Name.
Richard Pichon2007-12-04This Song is wonderful. I listen to this song in my car over and over again. The Piano music is excellant. The words are fulfilling and the Flute is an added bonus. From Slidell Louisiana 30 minutes north of New Orleans wher we need the joy of Christmas in our lives to help over come the many of people still without homes after the devistation of Katrina. More than a Child excellant also.
