A Cold Night
Michael Kelly (c) 2002

It's a cold night and the tiny snow flakes fall
And they're landing on the face of a baby boy
And his mother gently brushes them away
And wraps him tighter in the manger where he lays
And His father brings the ox and lambs in closer
to keep him warmer, for it's deep into December
And the shepherds, frightened by the angels singing
Come for shelter, with the Saviour

It's a cold night and the subway's running late
He lays sleeping, lying on the subway grate
And the warm air makes him dream of days gone by
Home and family and the joy of Christmas time
He's awakened by the sound of traffic passing
Children laughing, people rushing, Christmas shopping
In the distance a chiming church bell beckons
Come for shelter with the Saviour

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright

It's a cold night and out beyond the clouds
Angel choirs sing a timeless, ageless song
And the world turns and revolves around the sun
They fill the heavens singing glory to the One
Far below them, he stumbles from the street into the mission
To get a bite to eat and sit and listen
As the mission choir is singing
Come for shelter with the Saviour
Come for shelter

Alleluia
