A teenage girl and her son-to-be
A simple trip far as they could see
The sky was clear and the hour serene
But did they know what the night would bring?

Lonely hearts strung across the land
They've been waiting long for a healing hand
My heart was there and I felt the chill
When love came down and the earth stood still
When love came down and the earth stood still

Shepherds stirred under starry skies
Tasting grace that would change their lives
The angels trembled and the demons did too
For they knew very well what pure grace would do

The hope of the world and a baby boy
I remember Him well like I was there that night
My heart was there and I felt the chill
Love came down and the earth stood still
Love came down and the earth stood still
Love came down and the earth stood still
