On a cold December night
A
baby was born and brought a great light
Myrrh,
frankincense, and gold
Gifts to a king, and a story to unfold
And I had
nothing to give but my tears
All
of my hopes, and all of my fears
I
felt so empty handed
CHORUS:
But
then came an angel
Who
touched all my sorrows
That
had fallen in the snow
There
in their place in the humble manger
Grew a white and
pink lovely
Christmas Rose
VERSE:
It smelled like fragrant spring
It was the gift that I had to bring
A flower of warmth and love
Things
that could only come from above
'Cause I had
nothing to give but my tears
All
of my hopes, and all of my fears
And
I wasn’t empty handed
CHORUS:
‘Cause
then came an angel
Who
touched all my sorrows
That
had fallen in the snow
There
in their place in the humble manger
Grew a white and
pink lovely
Christmas Rose
BRIDGE:
Almost
like a shepherd in the fields
What
I gave was priceless and yet so simple
It came in the misty chill of winter
As clear as the voice of heaven's timbre
As clear as the voice of heaven's timbre
VERSE:
If you have nothing to give but
your tears
All
of your hopes, and all of your fears
Just
come empty handed
CHORUS:
‘Cause
then came an angel
Who
touched all my sorrows
That
had fallen in the snow
There
in their place in the humble manger
Grew a white and
pink lovely
Christmas Rose
TAG:
Such
a lovely Christmas Rose
What
a lovely Christmas Rose
