Good King Joy

Joy to the world
 The Lord has come
 Let earth
 Receive her king
 Now it was long ago
 When it all began
 Back in Bethlehem
 In the promised land
 When a single star
 Appeared in the sky
 And three kings saw
 And they each asked why
 Asked why...
 And they checked the books
 Full of prophecy
 And the one king said
 Why it's plain to me
 You see it means
 That a king is born
 Who will save mankind
 On this blessed morn
 Blessed morn...
 So they packed some gold
 Myrrh and frankincense
 On some old camel
 With some fancy tents
 Closed down the house
 Set the servants free
 And three kings rode
 Into history
 History...
 It was long ago
 In a foreign land
 When the Lord looked down
 Said to make a stand
 So He sent His son
 And said, 'through him you'll know me!'
 You'll know me
 Then the angels came
 And when they start to sing
 All at once the past
 It doesn't mean a thing
 And the star comes out
 And the wise men say, Hey show me!
 Oh, show me
 And they followed it
 Over hills and sand
 Til' they found the child
 Like it all was planned
 And as they knelt before
 The newborn king
 The angel's were singing
 In their angel style
 How all of our hopes
 Had come down to this child
 THEN HE REACHED FOR THE SONG
 AND HE HELD IT IN HIS HAND
 (IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HE DID
 BECAUSE ANGELS CAN)
 AND HE WONDERED TO HIMSELF
 "IT THIS THE ANSWER THAT I SOUGHT"
 BUT SOMETHING WAS STILL MISSING
 OR AT LEAST SO HE STILL THOUGHT
 AND SO HE JOURNEYED ON
 THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT WINTER AIR
 WHEN ALL AT ONCE OUR ANGEL
 FELT THE TOUCH OF A MAN'S PRAYER
 AND LOOKING ONCE MORE TO THE EARTH
 TO DETERMINE WHENCE IT CAME
 HE FELT A MILLION SOULS BELOW
 BUT ONE WAS NOT THE SAME
 FOR THERE HE SAW A MAN ALONE
 THOUGH HE WAS WALKING IN A CROWD
 AND THOUGH THIS MAN HAD RARELY PRAYED
 TONIGHT HIS HEAD WAS BOWED
 FOR EVEN IN A CROWD, YOU SEE
 A HEART CAN FEEL ALONE
 WHEN THE NIGHT IS CHRISTMAS EVE
 A CHILD IS NOT AT HOME
 SO FROM A FATHER TO THE LORD
 A PRAYER DID SWIFTLY RACE
 BUT THE ANGEL SAW IT FIRST
 AND HE LISTENED TO ITS CASE
