Light up SOLO Under this bright light twinkling star Three fearless wise men came from near and far They brought with them three gifts of joy For this baby boy Chorus- ALL Light up light up A star that shines so bright Shepherds, kings and angels sing tonight A baby born in Bethlehem Louder, louder the trumpets sing tonight King of kings our Lord was born this night Instrumental Repeat chorus –ALL SOLO- First part of the chorus SOLO The angel brought great news of joy Mary would give birth to a baby boy The baby Jesus king of the Jews Glorious news The shepherds came from near and far Followed their hearts , beneath the giant star They kneeled before and bowed in prayer To our saviour there Chorus – ALL Light up, light up A star that shines so bright Shepherds, kings and angels sing tonight A baby born in Bethlehem Louder, louder, the trumpets sing tonight King of kings our Lord was born this night

He will rule the world Solo You light the sky up above me A star so bright you blind me Don’t close your eyes Don’t fade away Chorus We are the angels sent from above to give news of a king he will rule the world. We bring a message of love and of peace to the new son of God , he will rule the world. If walls break down he will comfort you. If angels cry he will be there for you. He’ll save our souls for ever more for ever more. Instrumental Repeat chorus All the stars are coming out tonight their lighting up the sky tonight for him for him All the stars are coming out tonight their lighting Up the sky tonight for him for him x3

Simeon’s song I waited here so patiently Just waiting for Our Lord to listen to me. I felt the world was in distress. People were unkind and it felt like just a mess. Oh my Dear Lord where have you gone? I’m getting tired and I need someone to rely on. I came across this baby boy. I saw his face and it filled my heart with joy. Is this the ‘light’ I want to love ? Is this the answer I‘ve been dreaming of? I’m getting old and I need someone to rely on. And if you have a minute why don’t we go Talk about it somewhere only we know. This could be the start of everything, So why don’t we go Somewhere only we know Somewhere only we know. Instrumental Oh my Dear Lord where have you gone? I’m getting tired and I need someone to rely on This is the ‘light we’ve waited for. This is the Saviour who has opened up our door. And if you have a minute why don’t we go Talk about it somewhere only we know Cause this could be the start of everything, So why don’t we go Somewhere only we know? PAUSE
