2000 Decembers Ago Lyrics

2000 Decembers Ago 



Did it feel like a night any different 

Then at least a million before 

Was there any rare expectation 

Like there was some kind of somethin' in store 

Did the sky have to hold back the thunder 

Did the moon find new reasons to glow 

Could the children somehow sense the wonder 

2000 Decembers Ago 



Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds 

At the new star that lite up the sky 

Did the willow trees whisper excitement 

To the rivers and streams passing by 

Did the joy ricochet off the mountains 

'Til it filled up the valleys below 

Did all the world sense love abounding 

2000 Decembers Ago 



Was anyone able to look at the stable 

And not see a child but a King 

I wish I could hear back over the years 

As heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing. 



Did the walls of the barn start to tremble 

With a glory they could not contain 

Did anyone wake with the feeling 

Of peace that they could not explain 

Oh the love must have been overwhelming 

As it warmed everyone in its flow 

For all of the earth is still telling 

Of 2000 Decembers ago 



Was anyone able to look at the stable 

And not see a child but a king 

I wish I could hear back over the years 

As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing 

Oh the love must have been overwhelming 

2000 Decembers Ago
