Lyrics
ONE WONDROUS STAR |
I am a simple shepherd girl, no rank or wealth have I But, oh, what precious treasure was mine one silent night! A gift so pure and radiant, a diamond in the dark Sweetly shining, so divine was this One Wondrous Star. It rose there in the eastern sky, I spied it from the hill Yet when I closed my eyes to pray, I saw it brighter still 'Til peace & joy came over me, and hope filled up my heart Brightly blazing, so amazing was this Wondrous Star Now, it will shine forever and never lose its light It will shine to guide me through the deepest, darkest night For in the stillness of my soul this Star had led me to The feet of the sweet Saviour who'd come for me & you So in this world I'll go my way, I will do my best Thankful for that wondrous day I was so richly blessed And like a dream when heaven seems so distant and so far There will be inside of me an ever-burning spark And His love so true will glimmer through this One Wondrous Star. words & music by Joni Bishop / c Mountain Glen Music ASCAP / Adm: MCS America, Inc. |

ON THE ROAD TO BETHLEHEM |
He was flyin' down the highway on that cold December night Ninety miles north of Nazareth, near the Pennsylvania line He was thinkin' about Mary and the state that she was in As those big wheels burned 'round the twists and the turns On The Road To Bethlehem. Snow was fallin', roads were icy and the drifts were ten feet deep But he'd made her a solemn promise, he'd be there by Christmas Eve He was hurryin' to Mary, he didn't see the highway bend 'Til his big rig swirved 'round the narrowest curve On The Road To Bethlehem And there on that silent night, with faith stronger than steel He prayed for a guiding light, then someone took the wheel...... And rode that mile with Jesus, 'til he was safely home again Through the storm & the wind the Lord's loving Hand led him back to Bethlehem. There were roses at St. Joseph's when she opened up her eyes And in her arms, the blessed wonder of their precious newborn child And he was there beside his Mary, in his heart he whispered thanks For a night so full of miracles even now, as much as then On The Road To Bethlehem.

SEND YOURSELF HOME FOR CHRISTMAS |
Send yourself home for Chistmas Hurry across the miles A card just won't do 'cause I'm waiting Thinking of you all the while... I'll be hanging the lights and the stockings And a star high upon the tree Send yourself Home For Christmas Send youself Home To Me Through snow and winter weather, love will keep us warm May it bring us back together, every Christmas morn' So I'll keep a candle burning In case an angel should see And help you Send Yourself Home For Christmas Send yourself home to me Send Yourself Home For Christmas Send yourself home to me.
