This is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs I know. When I first found my way back to church after a 20 year absence and subsequently found my way to music ministry, this was one of the first of the “new” Christmas songs I learned. The question

easy listening contemporary Christian ministry dedicated to healing and forgiveness through music.
Singer and songwriter, Lynn Geyer, presents uplifting music for use in Christian settings. Lynn develops youth programs, such as her nationally recognized Journey to Forgiveness, an examination of conscience which includes a full length 17 song CD.

Story behind the song
When I first found my way back to church after a 20 year absence and subsequently found my way to music ministry, this was one of the first of the “new” Christmas songs I learned. The question remains, if we were there when Jesus was born, would we have known who he was?
Lyrics
Were you there, were you there on that Christmas night When the world was filled with a holy light? Were you there to behold when the wonder foretold came to earth? Did you see, did you see how they hailed him king, With the gifts so rare that they chose to bring? Did you see how they bowed as they praised him aloud at his birth? Did you hear how the choirs of angels sang at the glory of the sight? Did you hear how the bells of heaven rang all through the night? Did you know, did you know it was God’s own son, The salvation of the world begun? Did you know it was love that was sent from above to the earth? Did you know it was love that was sent from above to the earth?
