I Need A Silent Night Lyrics - The Christmas Collection - Amy Grant

I've made the same mistake before 

Too many malls, too many stores 

December traffic, Christmas rush 

It breaks me till I push and shove 

Children are crying while mothers are trying 

To photograph Santa and sleigh 

The shopping and buying and standing forever in line 

What can I say? 

I need a silent night, a holy night 

To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise 

I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here 

To end this crazy day with a silent night 

December comes then disappears 

Faster and faster every year 

Did my own mother keep this pace 

Or was the world a different place? 

Where people stayed home wishing for snow 

Watching three channels on their TV 

Look at us now rushing around 

Trying to buy Christmas peace 

I need a silent night, a holy night 

To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise 

I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here 

To end this crazy day with a silent night 

What was it like back there in Bethlehem 

With peace on earth, good will toward men? 

Every shepherd's out in the field 

Keeping watch over their flock by night 

And the glory of the Lord shone around them 

And they were so afraid 

And the angels said fear not for behold 

I bring you good news of a great joy that shall be for all people 

For unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord 

And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace 

I need a silent night, a holy night 

To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise 

I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here 

To end this crazy day with a silent night 

To end this crazy day with a silent night
