Just Before The Silent Night
by Brian Doerksen, Stephanie Esau

Album: The Heart Of Christmas

Verse 1
Just before the silent night
That radiant night O holy night
Just before the angel choir
Sang joy to the world

Verse 2
Travelers rushing everywhere
Scared to find no room there
Expectant couple turned away
Sent out in the dark

Chorus 1
After all your dreams have died
A tiny seed can spring to life
Hold on the light is breaking through
Don't close your eyes

Verse 3
Just because the world we see
Has lost its heart
Is cold and mean
Just because the powerful
Oppress those in need

Verse 4
Doesn't mean the day won't come
When justice flows for everyone
So we wait in Advent hope
Just before dawn

Chorus 1
After all your dreams have died
A tiny seed can spring to life
Hold on the light is breaking through
Don't close your eyes

Post Chorus
Hold on
Love is here for you
About to arrive
Hold on hold on

Interlude
Love is coming
Love is near
Love is coming

Refrain
No need for fear

Chorus 2
Even when our dreams have died
A tiny seed can spring to life
Hold on the light is breaking through
Don't close your eyes

Post Chorus
Hold on
Love is here for you
About to arrive
Hold on

Verse 5
Just before our silent night
Christmas night O holy night
Shoppers rushing everywhere
To find something more

Verse 6
When everything we need was found
Long ago in that little town
Out of Bethlehem has come
A Shepherd for all
