Ordinary Night


A simple maid, a simple man
A simple life, a simple plan
Interrupted by something grand
The baby Jesus

An angel shared his simple news, 

The Savior born in a simple room
Shepherds went to find it true
The baby Jesus

On what seemed to be an ordinary night

They beheld an extraordinary sight
Only those of simple faith
Will recognize the simple babe

He could have come in a mighty storm

Charging in with heaven's force
But he was simply and modestly born
The baby Jesus

A simple star to light the way

The magi saw, the magi came
Simply kneeling to acclaim
The baby Jesus

On what seemed to be an extraordinary night

They beheld an extraordinary sight
Only those of simple faith
Will recognize the simple babe

On what seems to be an ordinary night

We behold an extraordinary sight
Discard all but simple faith
To recognize the simple babe
Kneel before the baby Jesus.
