JJ Hairston, Brittany Brooks - The Night lyrics

The night
Was new
It was as if God took His hands and, dipped them in hues of blue
He Van Gogh's the sky with each prophetic brush stroke
The firmament spoke of His power and glory
Even constellations and galaxies they bowed and they confessed
Holy Holy
If you ever wonder what God's smile looks like
The Bible describes that a star appeared in the eastern sky
Which was heaven's way of winking at earth
Reminding us that God's promises, even awaited births, always arrive on time

The night
Was still
Even the wind took a back seat and said
Tonight, we chill
For the prophecies revealed that He will be called Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
The only gift that didn't come with a gift receipt
Wrapped in unconditional cloths of love
As he lays in a manger
There is no return back to sender
This gift is not broken but this gift is called Kinsman redeemer
This gift is called Kinsman redeemer
Since man had a hard time coming to God
God "prime" the delivery and said I will come to them
That night
Hopeless hearts now believed in Him
That night
As the children whisper
"The Messiah is here"
Their childlike faith penetrated stony walls
And muted generational fears
Can you hear
Angels descending from heaven to earth
Even the flapping of their wings
Synchronized to the heartbeat of our Savior's birth
Can you see
Shepherds leaving their flock
Their feet barely touching the ground
Onlookers shout: Why are you running?
Because we have to see what the Lord has told us about

The night
Was so divine
Behold our King
The glory was so heavy in the room
That even the wise men fell to their knees
Their own understanding couldn't even stand
But had to bend for you
One by one they worshipped you
One by one gold, frankincense, and myrrh for you
One by one
Mary and Joseph were in awe of you
One by one
Angels sing to you Jesus
From age to age Jesus
Your name, your goodness, your love, your mercy reverberates
Throughout the halls of our past, present, and future
Jesus you are more than a friend
You took the broke and became kin
Jesus You are the light
You are the night light to our dark nights Jesus

That night
Was like a wild fire
You see as news began to spread of His arrival
Tears began to swell up in their eyes
Though weeping tried to endure
Joy took over that night
You see His birth was the answer to all of our needs
One Savior, One Ruler, One Master, One Miracle, One King
