One Quiet Moment

Lyrics

One quiet moment In the star-clustered night Two weary travelers Knew an end was in sight So the soon-to-be mother Grasped her husband's strong hand And paused to remember Where their journey began Nine months of yearning Filled with joy and with pain He almost had left her But then chose to remain Close by the woman He had not even kissed Who would bear him a Son That would nevеr be his And in one quiet momеnt A woman and man Accepted the part They would have in God's plan To give up His glory And be born as a man In one quiet moment They dreamed of the times They would spend with their Son Taking walks through the hillsides And watching Him run And some days, the fingers That had fashioned the stars Would reach out to hold them When the walk was too far They wrestled with knowing That His life would bring change Their friends would grow distant And shun them as strange Though they tried not to think it In their hearts they were sure That their baby was destined To die for the world And in one quiet moment A woman and man Accepted the part They would have in God's plan To give up His glory And be born as a man In one quiet moment In one quiet moment In one quiet moment One quiet moment They could suddenly hear Thousands of angels Singing so clear "Glory to God! His salvation is near" In this one quiet moment In this one quiet moment One quiet moment
