Content  – This reflective Christmas song considers how the story of Jesus’ birth has continued to inspire people for two millennia.  From angels, shepherds and kings at the stable to modern choirs, bells and Christmas lights, it celebrates the enduring wonder and worldwide significance of the miracle child, Jesus. A moving song with an unusual approach, very suitable for junior choir and carol concerts, with its simple but effective harmonies (optional).

Lyrics Sample

Time goes so fast, time goes so slow.
Is it really two thousand years ago
A baby lay in a stable
Who still can move us so?
A story begins, a story grows,
For hundreds of lifetimes it flows:
Across the world we remember
That time so long ago when there were:

Angels singing, shepherds praying,
Kings all kneeling down to honour Him,
Angels singing, shepherds praying,
Kings all kneeling down to honour a child,
A miracle child.

Time goes so slow, time goes so fast.

Can it be two thousand years have passed?

There must be something special

That makes the story last...
