about

This song is one of two that were already written and recorded before the Fresh Hope album idea came about. I wrote this song specifically as a Christmas time download on my website back in 2001 with the idea that if I ever did a "Christmas-themed" album, this would be one of the opening tracks.

Although "peace on earth" is a very common sentiment during the holiday season, this song was actually inspired by a quote from one of my High School Bible teachers: "Where Jesus is, there is peace. Where he is not, there is chaos." (Thanks, Mr. T!) That's such a true statement. The ONLY way for us to actually achieve peace is through Jesus Christ.

lyrics

Chorus: I know there is peace on earth tonight
Now that the son of God has arrived
There is peace on earth tonight
Our loving Savior is born tonight!

It was a night like any other night
Nothing seemed out of place
No one knew this night would bring into the world
The Savior of the human race

But in one quiet moment the world would change forevermore
It was the glorious coming of the Lord!

Chorus

A baby boy, a tiny little child
Sent down to earth from Heaven above
It's hard to believe this baby is Almighty God
Come to bring his message of peace and love

We've been waiting for such a long, long time for him to come
The Savior's life on earth has begun!

Chorus

Bridge: Our God has come to earth
To bring his people into the Light
Now our world will never be the same
It all begins tonight!

Chorus
