Could it be

Star in the sky shining bright,
Giving hope to this silent night.
Bethlehem is all a glow,
Pointing the way for all to know.

Could this be the sign we need?
Could this answer our every plead?
Could this be the end to our wait?
Could this baby save our fate?

Tiny stable of dirt and hay,
How could this be the only way?
Manger holding a swaddling son,
How could this be the chosen one?

Could this be the Savior's birth?
Could this child save the Earth?
Could this be why the Angel sings?
Could this boy be the King of Kings?

The mother Mary so young and pure,
Such a glorious burden to endure.
Father Joseph brave and true,
Could this miracle make all things new?

Could this be the one who forgives my sins?
Could this be where my new life begins?
Could this be the holy one with no guilt or blame?
Could this be the cover for all my shame?

Two thousand years later we celebrate this day,
Gone are the mangers filled with hay.
Diamonds, toys, and presents galore,
Could this be what jesus is remembered for?

Could this be how we celebrate our saving grace?
Could this materialism cause such deface?
Could this be why God brought us his son?
Could we so soon forget about the Holy One?

Like the star shining above that silent night,
Today we need to be His lights so bright.
So much as been forgotten about this time of year,
We so easily forget the Savior who cast out all fear.

Could it be we can say Merry Christmas without hesitation?
Could we sing our praises loud without reservation?
Could it be we not hide our faith and our love?
Could we proclaim our Lord reigns on Earth and Above?
Merry Christmas to all, may your hearts fill with joy,
Always remember the gift of this boy.
Could it be we celebrate this year right?
Share the good news, break the silence in this night.
