\nworld full of empty, He will die
\nbut tonight He is still just a child<\/p>\n

\nhave you cried to the heavens
\nhave you fought with this mercy you don’t understand
\nwhen the wise men kneel down
\nto kiss the hand of this king they found
\nin bethlehem town <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwill you dream that this man could always be a child
\nand never carry all the weight
\nof the dirt and the distance and the company we keep<\/p>\n
\nhave you cried to the heavens
\nhave you fought with this mercy you don’t understand
\nwhen the wise men kneel down
\nto kiss the hand of this king they found
\nin bethlehem town<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nyou gave birth to the death that would bring us to life
\nand did the mystery keep you awake
\nwas the sound of His little heart too much to take<\/p>\n
\nwhen the wise men kneel down
\nto kiss the hand of this king they found<\/p>\n
\nhave you cried to the heavens
\nhave you fought with this mercy you don’t understand
\nwhen the wise men kneel down
\nto kiss the hand of this king they found
\nin bethlehem town<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nin bethlehem town”<\/p>\n
\nThen at least a million before
\nWas there any rare expectation
\nLike there was some kind of somethin’ in store
\nDid the sky have to hold back the thunder
\nDid the moon find new reasons to glow
\nCould the children somehow sense the wonder
\n2000 Decembers Ago<\/p>\n
\nAt the new star that lite up the sky
\nDid the willow trees whisper excitement
\nTo the rivers and streams passing by
\nDid the joy ricochet off the mountains
\n‘Til it filled up the valleys below
\nDid all the world sense love abounding
\n2000 Decembers Ago<\/p>\n
\nAnd not see a child but a King
\nI wish I could hear back over the years
\nAs heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing.<\/p>\n
\nWith a glory they could not contain
\nDid anyone wake with the feeling
\nOf peace that they could not explain
\nOh the love must have been overwhelming
\nAs it warmed everyone in its flow
\nFor all of the earth is still telling
\nOf 2000 Decembers ago<\/p>\n
\nAnd not see a child but a king
\nI wish I could hear back over the years
\nAs heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing
\nOh the love must have been overwhelming
\n2000 Decembers Ago”<\/p>\n
