(Verse 1) Dust on the dashboard, boots on the floor Pulling up late to my mama’s front door The porch light is haloed in cold December mist Felt like a ghost on a town I missed But the radio’s playing a low, steady hum Strumming the chords where the old hymnals come And I hear the choir start to softly breathe Bringing me back to what I still believe. (Chorus) They’re singing Silent Night, holy night The stars are still shining, the world is alright And Joy to the World, let the weary heart sing The Lord is come, yeah, He’s still the King From the cradle of straw where the Savior lay To the highest peak at the break of day Yeah, the rhythm of grace is a beautiful sound Go tell it on the mountain all around. (Verse 2) The kitchen smells like cinnamon and pine Grandpa’s asleep by the sweet red wine Under the tree where the paper is torn Is the same clay manger where hope was born No room at the inn for the stresses of life Just the stillness of truth cutting through the night I close my eyes and I’m drifting away To the sweet, simple promise of Christmas Day. (Chorus) While they sing Silent Night, holy night The stars are still shining, the world is alright And Joy to the World, let the weary heart sing The Lord is come, yeah, He’s still the King Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The stars in the sky look down where He head Yeah, the rhythm of grace is a beautiful sound Go tell it on the mountain all around. (Bridge) Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices The sky opens up and the darkness rejoices It’s an O Holy Night, a divine intervention Waking us up from our own apprehension Yeah, the thrill of hope makes a weary world shine And it’s beating right here in this heart of mine. (Guitar Solo - Upbeat, soaring country-rock transition) (Chorus) Now we’re singing Joy to the World, let the earth receive The love that we lost, the things we believe It’s an O Holy Night, let the praise ring clear The Savior is born and heaven is here Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain, a sinner’s prayer Yeah, the rhythm of grace is a beautiful sound Go tell it on the mountain all around. (Outro) Sleep in heavenly peace tonight. Yeah, sleep in heavenly peace. Go tell it on the mountain. Jesus Christ is born.
