[Verse 1]
It was Christmas Eve in a little Texas town
The snow was falling softly to the ground
Outside a little chapel stood a man
With sightless eyes, a candle in his hand

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, if you're there, help me in
I need to light a candle for a friend
Who came from a land across the sea
They called him the Man From Galilee

[Verse 2]
No one seemed to hear his lonely cry
They laughed in Christmas cheer and walked on by
Inside they watched a clock up on the wall
Put silver in the box and left the hall

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, if you're there, help me in
I need to light a candle for a friend
Who came from a land across the sea
They called him The Man From Galilee

[Verse 3]
Soon the church was quiet in the night
And one-by-one the candles lost their light
In darkness now, the old man knelt to pray
Forgive them, Lord, they must have lost their way
[Verse 4]
Oh Lord, if you're there, hear my prayer
Let the message of your Birthday fill the air
Let the lesson of your love help us to see
That Christmas is The Man From Galilee

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, if you're there, help me in
I need to light a candle for a friend
Who came from a land across the sea
They called him The Man From Galilee
