Here are the words for the songs in the presentation.
They Came to a Christmas Party
Long time ago and miles away
On a night so clear
Shepherds came to see a child
At the end of a long hard year
Chorus:
They came to a Christmas party
They came to dance and sing
They came to see the wonder of
The newborn heavenly King
Along the lonely winding road
Three Kings came to call,
Trav’lling from a distant land
Just to find a lowly stall
Chorus: They came to a Christmas Party…
Now some they came to tell their name
In Bethlehem that day,
Some came seeking peace on earth
In the place where a baby lay
Chorus: (x2) They came to a Christmas party…
EVERYONE’S ASLEEP
Everyone’s asleep in the night so deep
Everyone’s asleep tonight
Children in their beds rest their weary heads
Everyone’s asleep tonight
Donkey’s in the straw, Can you hear him snore?
Everyones asleep tonight
Not a sound is heard from a mouse or bird
Everyone’s asleep tonight
But coming down the road
The long and silent road
Strangers come to Bethlehem
They’ve travelled all the day
A long and tiring way
Who will find a place for them?
Lights are all turned down in the darkened town
Everyone’s asleep tonight
Theres no room anywhere, not a bed to spare
Everyones asleep tonight
Everyone’s asleep, everyones asleep
Everyone’s asleep tonight sshhhhhhh
Something Happened to the Light
Over the hills long time ago,
Shepherds and their sheep lay low
Midnight came a light did shine
Bright as the light from a neon sign
Chorus:
Something happened to the light
Should be dark but it turned out bright
Never seen a stranger sight
Looks like day….but it should be night
Angels came and said to them
“You gotta go to Bethlehem!”
They flew up into the sky
Shepherds could not believe their eyes!
Chorus: Something happened to ….
Shepherds travelled high and low
Wond’ring where the light would go
Travelled up and travelled down
Til they came to a little town
Chorus: Something happened…
Still their journey led them on
All the time that light it shone
Over an inn it seemed to hang
At the door all the shepherds sang
Final Chorus:
Something happened to the light
should be dark but it turned out bright
Never seen a stranger sight
Looks like day…but it should be night X2
Dont know how it shines so bright
Tell the truth it gave me a fright
Looks like day…..but it should be night
Three Kings from the East
Three Kings from the East
Sat at a late night feast
Saw a star and wondered why
It shone and never ceased
Chorus:
A long, long way to go
Through the valleys high and low
And a biting wind did blow
Such a long, long way to go
They left their wine and bread
Followed the star instead
Rode their camels through the night
‘Til they came to a cattle shed
Chorus: A long, long way to go….
They saw the star shine down
Over Bethlehem town
On a manger filled with straw
And cattle all around
Chorus: A long, long way to go
They stood before an inn
To knock they did begin
Knocked three times…
And three times more…
Just to waken those within
Chorus: A long, long way to go x1

Shine Away
Chorus:
Let it shine ____, Let it shine ____,
Let it shine, let it shine, ooh let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, ooh let it shine.
There’s a bright light shining in the world tonight
All your fears will vanish in the morning light,
There’s a new horizon, there’s a brand new day,
A brighter future and it’s on the way
May all the love in the world,
Come shining through,
All the dark clouds disappear from view,
Let the light in your heart shine on,
All you do and say,
Let it shine, ooh, shine away
Chorus x 1
There’s a new beginning in the world tonight,
There’s a dawn breaking and the future’s bright,
May we each find blessing now its Christmas time,
Through all our lives may the good light shine
May all the love (twice)
…Shine away, shine away
