Brian Doerksen - Just Before The Silent Night Lyrics

Just before the silent night
That radiant night, O holy night
Just before the angel choir sang Joy to
The world'
Travellers rushing everywhere
Scared to find no room there
Expectant couple turned away,
Sent out in the dark

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

Just because the world we see
Has lost its heart, is cold and mean
Just because the powerful oppress those
In need
Doesn't mean the day won't come
When justice flows for everyone
So we wait in Advent hope just before
Dawn

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
Hold on, love is here for you about to
Arrive
Hold On . . . Hold on . . .

(Hold on, hold on, hold on,
Hold on love is coming)
Love is coming
(Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on love
Is near)
Love is near
(Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Love is coming)
Love is coming
No need for fear

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
Hold on, love is here for you about to
Arrive
Hold On . . .

Just before our silent night,
Christmas night, O Holy night
Shoppers rushing everywhere
To find something more
When everything we need was found
Long ago in that little town
Out of Bethlehem has come
A Shepherd for all
