The Man from Galilee lyrics

It was Christmas Eve in a little Texas town

The snow was falling softly to the ground

Outside a little chapel stood a man

With sightless eyes, a candle in his hand

Oh Lord, if you're there, help me in

I need to light a candle for a friend

Who came from a land across the sea

They called him the Man from Galilee

But no one seemed to hear his lonely cry

They laughed in Christmas cheer and walked on by

Inside they watched a clock upon the wall

Put silver in the box and left the hall

Oh Lord, if you're there, help me in

I need to light a candle for a friend

Who came from a land across the sea

They called him the Man from Galilee

Soon the church was quiet in the night

And one by one the candles lost their light

In darkness now, the old man knelt to pray

"Forgive them, Lord, they must have lost their way"

Oh Lord, if you're there, hear my prayer

Let the message of your birthday fill the air

Let the lesson of your love help us to see

That Christmas is the Man from Galilee

Oh Lord, if you're there, help me in

I need to light a candle for a friend

Who came from a land across the sea

They called him the Man from Galilee
