Joy Williams - 2000 Decembers Ago lyrics

2000 Decembers Ago Did it feel like a night any different Then at least a million before Was there any rare expectation Like there was some kind of somethin' in store Did the sky have to hold back the thunder Did the moon find new reasons to glow Could the children somehow sense the wonder 2000 Decembers Ago Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds At the new star that lite up the sky Did the willow trees whisper excitement To the rivers and streams pa**ing by Did the joy ricochet off the mountains 'Til it filled up the valleys below Did all the world sense love abounding 2000 Decembers Ago Was anyone able to look at the stable And not see a child but a King I wish I could hear back over the years As heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing Did the walls of the barn start to tremble With a glory they could not contain Did anyone wake with the feeling Of peace that they could not explain Oh the love must have been overwhelming As it warmed everyone in its flow For all of the earth is still telling Of 2000 Decembers ago Was anyone able to look at the stable And not see a child but a king I wish I could hear back over the years As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing Oh the love must have been overwhelming 2000 Decembers Ago
