verse one:
on a starry night in bethlehem
angels sang their praise
of a tiny baby born that day
sheperds came with their flocks of sheep
and wise men knelt to pray
before the baby boy they placed among the hay

pre-chorus:
and that's how Jesus came into the world
in a humble way, God's power now unfolds

chorus:
Jesus the Son of God
born that day to bring hope to the world
let all man sing
as we praise His holy name [x2]

verse two:
the baby boy became a man
who preached to those who came
of His Father's love for all humanity
He calmed the seas and the winds, He stilled
He healed all those in pain
and those who were lost, were found once again

pre-chorus:
and that's when Jesus came into the world
with the power of God, He made it possible

chorus:
Jesus the Son of God
walked on earth bringing hope to the world
let all man sing
as we praise His holy name [x2]

verse three:
they nailed the Saviour to the cross
on the hill of Calvary
they jeered at Him and spat at the King
but Jesus humbly took our sins
so that all who would believe
in Him, would be saved and live for eternity

pre-chorus:
and that's why Jesus came into the world
in His love for us, He died to make us whole

chorus:
Jesus the Son of God
rose again, giving hope to the world
let all man sing
as we praise His holy name [x2]

#3 Best Friend

verse one:
looking all around me
people huddled in groups
wondering what's so different

when things get hard
and i can't go on
without your strength

chorus:
Lord, please pour your love on me
i need your strength and mercy
help me hold on to you in all i do
i know that you can guide me through
all the pain inside

you're the best friend i could have
in my life

verse two:

chorus:
Lord, please pour your love on me
i need your strength and mercy
help me hold on to you in all i do

you're the best friend i could have
Lord, please pour your love on me

in my life

#7 Butterflies

verse one:
she sat in a corner of the room
as she watched the raindrops fall
tears ran down her cheeks
as she looked out at the hall
she used to run up and down
till she heard her mother's call
she hardly ever cried
she was her mama's little girl

chorus:
chasing that butterfly
light dancing in her eyes
holding her head up high
she graced all with her smile
she never blamed the Lord for
her short and simple life
then she spread her wings and said
"i'll meet you at the end"

verse two:
a butterfly fluttered in
and landed on her hand
it's pretty golden wings
they seemed to give her strength
she wiped away her tears and reached
for the Bible on her bed
then she bowed her head and prayed
for her darling little girl

chorus:
holding that butterfly
light dancing in her eyes
holding her head up high
her smile just like the sun
she thanked the Lord for giving her
her little daughter's love
then she looked up at the sky
and watched those golden wings fly

#10 The Answer

hey, girl,
do you know
who you are
anymore
there's gotta be
more than this
emptiness you feel
do you think you'd find
an answer

you get into the car
and you take the wheel
you feel so secure,
you think that it's real
there's gotta be
more than this
aimless life you have
do you think you'd find
an answer

you didn't see it coming,
it caught you off your guard
and now you're life's spinning
out of your hands
there's gotta be
more than this
endless pain inside
do you think you'd find
an answer

"Jesus, take back this life You freely gave"
a hand covers the other
there's warmth and new hope
a smile and tears
hands lifted to the skies
the Father
reunited with His child
