What They're Saying:
"Mmmm, my baby/Heaven sent you to me/All the world's been praying, 'Who will save?'/But, who am I that here tonight, I hold the one who'll bring us life? ... Do you hear the angels sing for you my baby?/Men and kings have come to bow to you!/But here in my arms, so close to me/The Son of God, now all can see!/Hallelujah, we've been found!/A child is born to save us now—Jesus!/Hallelujah, light is come!/A Savior who will set us free/The promise for those who believe"

—from BarlowGirl's "Hallelujah (Light Is Come)," from their Home for Christmas album.
