'Twas the Night Before the Children's Musical
‘Twas the night before the Christmas musical and all through the Children’s Wing
The hallway was empty; no kids there to sing
The costumes were hung on their hangers with care
In hopes that all the children soon would be there
Mr. John was at home, lying in bed
With preparations for the morning running ‘round in his head
Mr. Windell donned pajamas, and if there’s one thing we know
He practiced the songs on his home piano
Now suddenly, it’s 8:15, and there’s a great roar…
30-plus kids at the Children’s Wing door!
They’re excited and happy and ready to sing
They know all the joy they are about to bring
They get dressed and rehearse and remember their cues
No backing out now, there is no excuse
So come angels, come wise men, come shepherds, too
The musical begins, now its all up to you
There’ll be some mistakes, a wrong note or missed line
But all that’s important is Jesus at this time
The congregation is watching, so sing loud to them
And come with us now, on a Journey to Bethlehem!
