Tonight Lyrics

David Phelps Tonight

Kings and shepherds make their way
Straight to where a baby lay.
Rich and poor and lonely
Bow before this sight.
A star has led them to this place.
The Word that’s been echoing through space
Becomes a child tonight.

Chorus

Light to shine in the darkest night,
Light to make all the wrong things right,
Light to show everyone the way,
Light to shine where a virgin lay,
Tonight.

Angel voices fill the air.
Angel wings are everywhere.
Light so bright it’s blinding
Shepherds shake with fright.
A warmth begins to flood the hill
“Fear not! Peace to you – good will
Comes to earth tonight.”

Chorus

Light will be so bright.
It will shine through the darkest night
Send down Your holy light.

Star of David, the prophet’s star
Yahweh – God come to where we are.
Star to mark the Messiah’s birth.
Star of heaven now touches earth.

Chorus
