Adam Miller - Tangier Christmas Lyrics

Pastures with hay bales covered in snow
On horseback we travel down a long dirt road
We've come to reap the love of the faith we sow
To the church in the field by the old railroad
Celebrate the birth of our dear savior
Act accordingly on our best behavior
Remove our Stetson's and bow our head
By the tiny little manger with the tiny baby bed

We're singin, "Oh star so bright"
We're singing, "O Holy Night"
Again on another Tangier Christmas

We bring the warmth of the fire into God's house
Dust off the piano and shoe away the mouse
All creatures welcome big and small
To live in harmony in this worship hall
The wind rattled windows, the creak of old floors
As we file down the aisle from the main front door
Rows of wooden pews and song hymnals
Turn to page 101 and sing along

We're singin, "Oh star so bright"
We're singing, "O Holy Night"
Again on another Tangier Christmas

Like children so excited, circle around the Christmas tree
Bright lights, ornaments, and presents for you and me
Tradition finds itself in our heart where it stays
But we can't wait to wake up on Christmas day

We make our living in the dirt and what we raise from the land
Make the best of what we got and do the best that we can
Serve the Lord in your work by working hard
Sunrise to sunset and underneath the stars
The horses are stabled, cattle's been fed
Fixed all the fences, back on the homestead
A farmer's work is almost never done
But tonight we all gather to have some fun

We're singin, "Oh star so bright"
We're singing, "O Holy Night"
Again on another Tangier Christmas

We're singin, "Oh star so bright"
We're sing, "Oh Silent Night"
Again on another Tangier Christmas
