Glory in the Highest

Lyrics

Once upon a time in a field of stone and thorn

The shepherds kept their watch before the hope of man was born

The winter air was biting and the stars were sharp and cold

Just a band of weary outcasts far outside the holy fold

But then the black was shattered by a light they’d never known

As if the very veil of God was suddenly unsewn

The humble saw the glory that the kings could never find

The Savior of the broken and the Healer of the blind

Oh the heavens tear (HE IS HERE)

The song is in the air (EVERYWHERE)

The story that was promised since the very dawn of time

Is ringing through the darkness with a melody sublime

Glory in the highest (WE SING)

Peace upon the earth (HE BRINGS)

Glory in the highest (PRAISE HIM)

The Word made flesh (ADORE HIM)

Glory in the highest

Glory in the highest, glory in the highest

The Word made flesh

Glory (GLORY)

Glory (GLORY)

The story says they trembled as the angels filled the sky

A thousand holy voices raised a thunderous reply

Not for the proud or powerful or those of high degree

But for the ones who wander and the ones who long to be

Inside the heart of mercy where the fire never dies

Reflected in the wonder of a mother’s tired eyes

The shepherds left their hilltop and they hurried through the night

To find the King of Heaven in a beam of morning light

Glory in the highest (WE SING)

Peace upon the earth (HE BRINGS)

Glory in the highest (PRAISE HIM)

The Word made flesh (ADORE HIM)

Glory in the highest

Glory in the highest

The Word made flesh

Glory (GLORY)

Glory (GLORY)

Glory (GLORY)

Glory (GLORY)

And suddenly there was with the angel (SUDDENLY)

A multitude of the heavenly host (A MULTITUDE)

Praising God and saying (SAYING)

Glory to God in the highest! (HIGHEST)

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men! (GOODWILL)

He is here (HE IS HERE)

The Prince of Peace (AMEN)

The Story lives (SO LOVED)

The Story lives
