A CHRISTMAS DREAM
(Words & Music by Nathan Tinkham)
 

As I was drifting off to sleep
On this Christmas eve
My thoughts turned to looking back
At how this came to be
Long ago and far away
On a night so clear
It was such a simple thing
To echo through the years

Mary rock your baby boy
As he softly cries
There will be a world of tears
Shed for him bye and bye
Soon there will be peace and hope
For all the world to know
All because a child was born
Two thousand years ago

An angel brought his tidings
Not to priests and kings
But to shepherds in their fields
Afraid and trembling
And standing in the manger
How were they to know
How the world would change around
This babe in swaddling clothes

Mary rock your baby boy
As he softly cries
There will be a world of tears
Shed for him bye and bye
Now there can be peace and hope
For all the world to know
All because a child was born
Two thousand years ago
