Where it began, one starry night in Jerusalem
That's when our savior was born

Wasn't in the spring
Jesus wasn't born in the summer

But in the winter
He was born in a barn
Hands touching hands
Reaching out
Worshiping you, praising you

Jesus was born
Washed away all of our sins
He saved lives
So that we could do his work

Jesus suffered 40 days for us
He didn't eat so we could eat

Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely
When we pray to you

And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when you're with me?

Hands touching hands
Reaching out
Worshiping you
Praising you

Jesus was born
Washed all of our sins
You lift us up
We will praise and worship You
