the earth stood still

a teenage girl and her soon-to-be

a simple trip far as they could see

the sky was clear and the hour serene

but did they know what the night would bring

lonely hearts strung across the land

they've been waiting long for a healing hand

my heart was there and i felt the chill

love came down and the earth stood still

love came down and the earth stood still

shepherds stirred under starry skies

tasting grace that would change their lives

the angels trembled and the demons did too

for they knew very well what pure grace would do

the hope of the world in a baby boy

i remember him well like i was there that night

my heart was there and i felt the chill

love came down and the earth stood still

love came down and the earth stood still

love came down and the earth stood still
