More Than A Story - Go Fish

More than a story

Much more than a story

This is More than a story to me

«In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that

a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius

was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own

town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,

because he belonged to the house and line of David.

He went

there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the

time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her

firstborn, a son.

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.»

Luke 2:1−7 (New International Version)

In the little town of Bethlehem

A miracle was born to set us free

We read about it every year

I want to live my life

So that everyone can see

That it’s

More than a story

To me

«And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby,

keeping watch over their flocks at night.

An angel of the Lord

appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them,

and they were terrified.

But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid.

I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the

people.

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;

he is Christ the Lord.

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby

wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'

Suddenly a great company

of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom

his favor rests.'»

Luke 2:8−14 (New International Version)

In the little town of Bethlehem

A miracle was born to set us free

We read about it every year

I want to live my life

So that everyone can see

That it’s more than a story

To me

«When the angels had left them and gone into heaven,

the shepherds said to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem

and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has

told us about.'

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph,

and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

When they had

seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been

told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed

at what the shepherds said to them.

But Mary treasured up all

these things and pondered them in her heart.

The shepherds

returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had

heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.»

Luke 2:15−20 (New International Version)

(Silent night

Holy night

All was calm

All was bright

Round yon virgin

Mother and child

Holy infant

So tender and mild)
