A new Christmas carol sung by a remarkable 13 year old girl from Ireland, Allie Sherlock, live in Dublin on the 8th of December 2018. Written by John Manners, it tells the story and the excitement in simple terms of the birth of Jesus Christ.
GABRIEL, HOW CAN THIS BE?
Gabriel, how can this be?
Please, please explain to me.
Mary, the power of God
Will overshadow you. Fear not.
You will bear a son,
The holy and sacred one.
His father rules above.
Jesus be his name!
Eternal be his reign!
Joseph, where will we rest,
Here in Bethlehem tonight?
Mary, no rooms to let,
And no one cares to help our plight.
But over yonder see
A stable and manger free,
And where at ease you’ll be.
A star is shining bright!
This will be our light!
Joseph, what is that noise?
Baby Jesus sleeps still.
Mary, the shepherd boys
Have run with bells from down the hill,
And who they are I’ll ask.
Please tell me your story lads.
I wonder why so glad?
Joseph, we’re just boys.
Christ the Saviour’s born!
Chorus
Christ the Saviour’s born!
Angels us informed.
Then they sang: “Fa la la low fa la low fa la lay!”
Our new festival chime,
Evermore sung at Christmas time!
