Good news, good news
An angel brings good news
Good news, good news
I meet you with good news
Close your eyes fold your hands
For a moment let your sorrow fade
Why? Oh, why are you afraid?
Has this world stripped you of your faith?
Close your eyes and on bended knee
Listen to an angel pray
And once again prepare the way
So you'll see a gift that's given
For you a time of joy, behold a baby boy
Good news, good news
An angel brings good news
Good news, good news
I meet you with good news
Bow your head, speak not a word
Let the silence take you far from here
The spirit of a child dry every tear
And may your doubts, they disappear
Bow your head and on bended knee
Hear the story once again
The child grew up to wear a cross
A child grew up to pledge a life
For us a time of joy, behold, Christ a baby boy
Good news, good news
An angel brings good news
Good news, good news
I meet you with good news
For us is born this night
In a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes
Christ the Saviour, Christmas day
All our burdens washed away
We break the bread
We pour the wine
And angels descend
With a heavenly sigh
Good news, good news
An angel brings good news
Good news, good news
I meet you with
I leave you with good news
