The road to Bethlehem

Chorus

Gather up, the roads alive

Marching on, spirits high

To the towns our names belong

We carry on, we carry on (oh)

Post-Chorus

Ohoh, we’re movin’ on

Ohoh, we’re movin’ on

Verse 2

Roman word is law today

Caesar calls, we can’t delay

Quirinius leads across the land

To every city, we’re making a stand

Pre-Chorus

The world has shifted, gathering in

A journey for every family, kin

Past stones and sand, past silent trees

All return to their destinies

Chorus

Gather up, the roads alive

Marching on, spirits high

To the towns our names belong

We carry on, we carry on (oh)

Post-Chorus

Ohoh, we’re movin’ on

Ohoh, we’re movin’ on

Verse 3

From Nazareth, Joseph rides

With Mary close, at his side

Down dusty roads, hope in hand

Toward Bethlehem’s sacred land

Family roots, David’s name

Drawing near, nothing’s the same

Through gentle eyes and hearts alight

They seek a home for the night

Pre-Chorus

Guided by faith, they journey on

Love is strong where fear is gone

A story born beneath new skies

All begins as fortunes rise

Chorus

Gather up, the roads alive

Marching on, spirits high

To the towns our names belong

We carry on, we carry on (oh)

Post-Chorus

Ohoh, we’re movin’ on

Ohoh, we’re movin’

Bridge

Night descends, the hour calls

In quiet shadows, hope enthralls

Mary’s arms, the newborn cries

Cradled gently, under starlit skies

No golden halls, no open door

But in the manger, so much more

Wrapped in cloth, His story starts

Light ignites in humble hearts

Breakdown

No room inside, still love breaks through

A child arrives, the world made new

Born in straw, yet kings will sing

A promised joy, this night will bring

Chorus

Gather up, the roads alive

Marching on, spirits high

To the towns our names belong

We carry on, we carry on (oh)

Post-Chorus

Ohoh, we’re movin’ on

Ohoh, we’re movin’

Outro

Dawn breaks clear, the silent thread

From manger straw, hope is spread

Echoes rise, from lowly scene

A King is born where dreams convene

Hearts awake, the future calls

Warmth returns within these walls

Glory found, in simple truth

A world renewed, a light for youth

Post-Chorus

Ohoh, a light is here

Ohoh, we carry on

Ohoh, a child is here

Ohoh, we carry on

Verse 4

Out on the hills, shepherds awake

Guarding the quiet, for futures at stake

Under the stars, the night serene

Watching the flock, nothing unseen

Build

Sudden light splits open the dark

Fear in their eyes, pulsing hearts spark

A voice from the heights, thunder declares

Good news resounds, hope fills the air

Chorus

Gather 'round, the heavens blaze

Shining gold, a song of praise

Glory now, the fields ignite

Peace on earth in

Verse 5

Shadows flee as daylight breaks

A shimmer falls, the hillside shakes

A voice rings out across the plain

Shepherds tremble, joy and strain

The angel stands, fire-bright

Words of courage piercing night

Fear not, tonight good news is born

Hearts awaken, faith reborn

Pre-Chorus

Wide-eyed, still, under open sky

Grace descends, no need to hide

A promise made, this truth revealed

Peace at last, the wounds are healed

Chorus

Gather 'round, the heavens blaze

Shining gold, a song of praise

Glory now, the fields ignite

Peace on earth Face out
