Cristy Lane - The Man From Galilee lyrics

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