One Night A Year - Barbara Mandrell

Once again the windows shine with pretty lights

Once again our loved ones gather at our sight

Busy crowds of strangers greet each other with a smile

There’s Christmas in the eyes of every child

Once again the presents are resting by the tree

Once again we worship the One who came for you and me

I hear choirs of voices as they’re singing out His name

Again we tell the story of how the Christ Child came

One night a year we believe in peace on earth

One night a year we praise our Saviour’s birth

I wish every night the whole year through could be like Christmas Eve

When love’s pure light is shining everywhere, one night a year

Once again around the world heads are bowed in prayer

Once again the promise of peace is in the air

But soon will come the morning and the feeling will be past

And I can’t help but wonder why the feeling only lasts

One night a year we believe in peace on earth

One night a year we praise our Saviour’s birth

I wish every night the whole year through could be like Christmas Eve

When love’s pure light is shining everywhere, one night a year

One night a year we believe in peace on earth

One night a year we praise our Saviour’s birth

I wish every night the whole year through could be like Christmas Eve

When love’s pure light is shining everywhere, one night a year

One night a year
