Lyrics
Good News
The three men knew it was coming
So they gathered the gifts that they'd bring
They'd follow the light 'til they came to the site
Where they'd worship the newborn king
Meanwhile the shepherds were watching
When the angel appeared in their midst
And said Don't be afraid, it's a great celebration
One that you shouldn't miss, I bring you
Good news, good news
Good news, good news
Follow the star; don't stay where you are
Good news, good news
Mary and Joseph were tired
But they looked at each other with joy
They knew God had arranged for the world to be changed
With the birth of their baby boy
They got into town late one evening
And discovered the hotel was filled
With the help of a stranger, away in a manger
The prophecy was fulfilled and that was
*
All of the mothers and all of the fathers
And all of the daughters and sons
All the relations from all of the nations
God bless us everyone
With all of our loved ones around us
And friends who have traveled afar
We'll remember the story, the faith and the glory
And just like a shining star
