Maria Johnsen - A Child of Peace Lyrics

Under the stars so quiet so clear
A light was born to end our fear
In a manger humble and small
The greatest gift to us all

No crown of gold no royal bed
But hope alive where angels tread
A child of peace of love divine
The world forever redefined

Oh the Christmas story shining bright
A star of wonder in the night
Bringing hope to every heart
A brand-new life a brand-new start

Shepherds came with hearts so pure
Drawn by love they couldn't ignore
Wise men traveled from afar
Guided by that holy star

No walls too high no roads too steep
For faith that wakes us from our sleep
A gift of love to all mankind
A light the darkness cannot blind

Oh the Christmas story shining bright
A star of wonder in the night
Bringing hope to every heart
A brand-new life a brand-new start

And every time the season's near
We feel that grace year after year
Not in the gifts or bells we ring
But in the joy this story brings

Oh the Christmas story shining bright
A star of wonder in the night
Bringing hope to every heart
A brand-new life a brand-new start

So let us sing let love take flight
The Christmas story pure and right
In every heart let it unfold
A tale of love forever told
