We gathered under the starry sky
A crowd of thousands passing by
The lights the sound the stage was set
A night the city won't forget
We sang of peace we sang of love
A choir beneath the heavens above
Our hearts poured out our voices raised
For Christ the King we gave Him praise
But behind the scenes the cost was high
We gave our all but never asked why
Tired souls worn down but still we pressed
For the Kingdom we gave our best
O Holy Night we'd sing so bright
But the weight we bore was out of sight
Christmas lights and joyful sounds
While we were breaking lost and bound
Yet through it all His name we'd lift
But this year we'll find the greatest gift
Jesus at the heart of it all
Not the work but the call
From the food carts to the fireworks high
We built the dream we touched the sky
Each year we'd rise we'd play our part
A perfect show with a weary heart
For the children's smiles and the city's cheer
We'd sacrifice another year
But in the quiet something changed
Our joy was lost rearranged
We gave until there was nothing left
A shell of love of hope bereft
But now we see it's not the show
It's the Savior's love we need to know
O Holy Night we'd sing so bright
But the weight we bore was out of sight
Christmas lights and joyful sounds
While we were breaking lost and bound
Yet through it all His name we'd lift
But this year we'll find the greatest gift-
Jesus at the heart of it all
Not the work but the call
We'll remember the laughter the joy in the air
The families gathered the love that we shared
But this year we'll cherish something new
Traditions that bring us closer to You
No more striving no more pain
Just the peace that comes in Jesus's name
O Holy Night we'll sing so bright
But this time we'll see the light
No more heavy burdened souls
We're letting go we're making whole
Through the years His name we've praised
But this Christmas let our hearts be raised
Jesus at the heart of it all
Not the work but the call
This Christmas we'll find our rest
With Jesus we'll be truly blessed
No more work no more strain
Just His love His peace again
