No Ordinary Night
There’s something in the air tonight.
It feels as if the time is right for something quite amazing to occur
Folks have come from miles around.
The census has them homeward bound,
And ev’ry town and village is a stir.
There’s a feeling we’ve been feeling,
That its time for a revealing,
And it sure would be appealing if it were.
It’s no ordinary night,
Not merely black and white,
But euphorious and gloriously grand.
An extraordinary night
It’s no wonder we’re excited.
Could there be a celebration close at hand?
Oh it feels as if it really could be so!
Yes, it’s no ordinary night
There’s something in the air tonight
The stars are shining extra bright
Like something must be brewing in the sky
All the sheep are quiet now
But even though we don’t know how,
There’s much more to this night than meets the eye
There’s a growing expectation of a coming revelation
We could use an explanation as to why.
It’s no ordinary night,
Not merely black and white,
But euphorious and gloriously grand.
An extraordinary night
It’s no wonder we’re excited.
Could there be a celebration close at hand?
Oh it feels as if it really could be so!
Yes, it’s no ordinary night
Shaggy, Smelly Sheep
Camped upon a green Judean hillside
Underneath a vast and starry sky,
It’s cold out here tonight,
But the fire is burning bright,
And the shepherds have to keep a watchful eye.
Shepherds have a life that’s like no other
But not the kind of life that you might think
It’s not a bed of roses
For we have to hold our noses
There’s one thing ‘bout this job that really stinks!
Shaggy smelly sheep
Shaggy smelly sheep
They need someone to lead them or they’ll quickly lose their way
It’s our job to feed them and to keep the wolves at bay
It’s a job we plan to keep
Watchin Shaggy smelly sheep
Shaggy smelly sheep
Shaggy smelly sheep
People say that shepherds are the lowest of the low
There’s even lots of places that we’re not allowed to go
They also make us work for cheap
Watchin’ shaggy smelly sheep
It’s the only job we’ve ever had
But it’s really not that baaad.
Shaggy smelly sheep
Shaggy smelly sheep

Glory to God in the Highest with Angels we have heard on high
Minding the flock
Tending the sheep
Trying to catch a moment of sleep
When out of the blue
The night turned to day
An angel appeared and we heard him say
Fear not for I have good news
A savior is born unto you.
And the angels sang
Glory, glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Glory, glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Good will to men and peace on earth
Glory to God for the Savior’s birth
This is a sign
You’ll find him today
In the city of David in a manger of hay
He is the Christ
God’s baby boy
Let the people rejoice and sing for Joy.
Glory, glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Glory, glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Good will to men and peace on earth
Glory to God for the Savior’s birth
Gloria in excelsis deo

Goodwill to men and peace on earth
Glory to God for the savior’s birth!
Headin’ down to Bethlehem
Can’t believe we really saw an angel
Millions of them filling up the sky
And the news about his birth is the greatest thing on earth
That we’re about to see with our eyes
What about this savior in a manger?
Why would he be born in such a place?
But God know what is best
And we are truly blessed to be the first to look upon His face.
Headin’ down to bethlehem
Gonna see the savior
Gonna find the baby cause the angel told us so.
Prophets had foretold him
Can’t wait to behold him
Christ the Lord our savior who was promised long ago.
Wonder what the baby’s gonna look like?
Will he be like any other boy?
We’ll have the chance to see when we touch his hands and feet
Just seeing him is bound to bring us joy
Little bitty Baby in a manger
Made the hosts of heaven wanna sing
From David’s royal line
Earthly and divine
No wonder we’re excited ‘bout the King?

This is Jesus with Away in a Manger
Little baby in a stable who was born this holy night
Wrapped in swaddling
In a manger
How we marvel at the sight
Son of God a gift from heaven
Come to love upon the earth
Let us bow and kneel before him
As we celebrate his birth
This is Jesus
He’s our savior that we honor and adore
We will praise his name forever
And worship Christ the Lord
Little baby little savior
Little one we’ve waited for
When you grow
Your life will show
Just what your father sent you for
Born a king to rule forever
Yet a child so meek and small
Soon the world will come to know that you are Christ the Lord of all
This is Jesus
He’s our savior that we honor and adore
We will praise his name forever
And worship Christ the Lord
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
This is Jesus
He’s our savior that we honor and adore
We will praise his name forever
And worship Christ the Lord
We will praise his name forever
And worship Christ the Lord
