for KING & COUNTRY - A Drummer Boy Christmas Lyrics
(Featuring Needtobreathe, Gabby Barrett)






In the Bleak Midwinter

[ Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone, Luke Smallbone]
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, so long, so long ago

Won't You Come

[Luke Smallbone]
The people who have walked in darkness have seen the great light
For those who lived in a land of deep shadows, light
The joy of a great celebration, sharing rich gifts and warm greetings
For a child has been born for us
The gift of a son, for you and for me
His names will be Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace
And there will be no limits to the wholeness that he brings

[Joel Smallbone & Choir]
Won't you come?
Won't you come? Yeah
Oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Do you hear what I hear?
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringin' through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Do you hear what I hear?
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say
A Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?

Do you hear what I hear? Oh
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?

A Christmas Monologue

[Joel Smallbone]
It's remarkable
To think that a baby boy born in a stable
No prestige, no privilege
No social media or social status
Political campaigns or private airplanes
And yet, He turned BC into AD
He flipped the world on its head
He's the most famous name around the globe
Inspired the most read book ever written
He reconnected us to Heaven and, in turn, brought Heaven down to Earth
And now, He offers us redemption
A fresh start
Freedom
So that we can hold our heads high and march through this life knowing that we are never alone
That every woman and man, boy and girl
To all of us who feel like we have nothing left
Nothing to bring
We can know that God is smiling at us
That He's loving us
That we are enough
So light up that Christmas tree
Stand under the mistletoe
Surround yourself with the ones you love the most
And, together, let's celebrate the greatest news this world has ever known

The Carol of Joseph (I Believe in You)

[ Luke Smallbone]
Awestruck, silent
There's wonder in the air tonight
She's softly singin'
Singin' Him my lullaby
I can't believe it's true
I can't believe it's really You

For so long, we've journeyed
I never thought we'd come this far
Twistin' and turnin'
Searchin' for a guidin' star

Can't find the words to say
No, I can't explain but the world just changed
I've seen a miracle
Of courage, faith and a mother's grace

Oo-ooh

I believe in you
Yes, I believe in you
I finally hear the song
The angels singin' on and on and on
And I believe in you
Yes, I do

[Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone]
Breathless, tremblin'
Wonderin' what's gonna happen next
Questions upon questions
His little heart beatin' on my chest

[Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone]
How can I be the one?
The ones who father the Father's Son?
How can I raise a king
When this humble life is all I bring?

[Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone, Luke Smallbone]
Oo-ooh
Mother Mary says...

[Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone]
I believe in you
Yes, I believe in you
And I'll always sing this song
With the angels singin' on and on and on
And I believe in you
Yes, I believe in you

[Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone, Joel Smallbone]
And we'll always sing along
As the angels lead us on and on and on
And I believe in you
Yes, I do
I believe in you
Oh yes, I do
Believe in You

Go Tell It On The Mountain

[ Featuring Gabby Barrett ]

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born (oh, He's born)

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born

In the Bleak Midwinter (Epilogue)

[Joel Smallbone, Joel Smallbone & Luke Smallbone]
What can I give Him, poor as I am?

If I were a wise man, I would do my part
