I wondered as I wandered
Beyond yonder hill
As the world was asleep
And all seemed to be still

Stars in the sky
What a wondrous delight
Seeking just peace
Alone here in the night

Somehow still knowing
I am not alone
For the Holy Spirit resides
In the place I call 'home'


For the heart is the home
That one seeks other places
Yet it is so close
Some seek to replace it

I seek the solace
As I walk 'pon this hill
Knowing that I
Am walking at will

Seeing the moon
As it lights my way
In the spirit of Christmas
I have wandered away


Seeking our Jesus
Each place I look
Knowing I can find Him
In His Holy Book

Wondering as I go
What He thinks of me
Hoping that I
Somehow will see

God, how I love you
Even walking at night
You are my forever
As I walk in Your Light

As I slowly go ahead
Then I stop and I turn
Headed back home
For my loved ones I yearn

For in the spirit of Christmas
We all wish to be near
Always knowing that
Friends and family are dear

Yet knowing this season
Is a season of love
And it began
From the Heaven above


When God sent sweet Jesus
To walk on this earth
Oh how I yearn that
Others know of His worth

Nearing my home now
I pause to remember
It is Christmas Eve
Silent night in December
