On a night like this,
Under the same dark sky
Into a quiet world of slumber
From a mother’s womb into the breath of life
Came the cry of heaven’s wonder
On a night like this
With no welcoming,
no one to notice you
Only the arms that held you closely
Oh King of Kings,
You took upon our flesh
Touched the earth to make it holy
And the skies opened
and the angels sang
And the light fell into a world forever changed
Gloria, here is heaven in our midst
Love came down on a night like this.
This is a troubled day,
ours is a desperate hour
Just as it was when you walked among us
And you knew our deepest need,
Took on our poverty
Beautiful mercy born to save us.
And the skies opened
and the angels sang
And the light fell
Into this world forever changed
Gloria, here is heaven in our midst
Love came down on a night like this.
On a night like this,
under the same dark sky
Into a world that still needs a savior
Jesus, come and be born in the heart of me
And let me be your manger
Oh, let us be your manger.”
But the skies open
and the angels sing
And the light fall
into this world forever changed
Gloria, heaven here in our midst
Oh love came down on a night like this
'Cause love came down on a night like this.
