The Man From Galilee Composer(s): Holloway Performer(s): Christy Lane; Connie Smith
It was Christmas Eve in a little Texas town The snow was falling softly to the ground Outside a little chapel stood a man With sightless eyes a candle in his hand Oh Lord if you're there help me in I need to light a candle for a friend He came from a land across the sea They call Him the Man from Galilee And no one seemed to hear his lonely cry They laughed with Christmas cheer and walked on by Inside they watched a clock upon the wall Put silver in the box and left the hall
Oh Lord if you're there help me in I need to light a candle for a friend He came from a land across the sea They call Him the Man from Galilee Soon the church was quiet in the night And one-by-one the candles lost their light In darkness now the old man knelt to pray Forgive them Lord they must have lost their way
Oh Lord if you're there hear my prayer Let the message of Your birthday fill the air Let the lesson of your life help us see That Christmas is the Man from Galilee
Oh Lord if you're there help me in I need to light a candle for a friend He came from a land across the sea They call Him the Man from Galilee
