'Angel Light' began life as 'SIX' (working title for CD number 6!). It was the vision of Luis Miguel Alcala to release an album of Christmas songs including 'Bethlehem Town' and 'Christmas Bells' (previously released on vinyl and cassette only), along with 'The Christmas Story', a song I had performed live for some years without it ever finding a home on CD. The album began to crystallise in spring-summer of 2002 as new songs came on stream - 'Anointing', 'You Better Believe it', the chorus 'Blessed is He', and lastly, the title track 'Angel Light.' Luis lives in Valencia, Spain, and I am in Birmingham, England, and so it was via the good offices of e-mails and the passage of cassettes through the post that we have refined this production to celebrate Christmas in we hope, a special way. Oh - many thanks to Clifford and Charis, who popped in one day and provided the Spanish, Hebrew, French, and Italian translation for 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.' ..... Yes, be blessed.     Dave

ANGEL LIGHT 


Looking up at the heavens
What's gonna happen now, could be anything...
The clock is pushing eleven - fifty nine,
pretty soon you'll know everything...
Old as the mountains, new as the day
I hear - orchestras play in the Angel Light
All cross the universe tonight



Old order is passing
starlight and gravity they can't hold you now....
can't console you now,
Goldilocks and the seven bears 
as they climb the stairs, they're still unawares 
of the broken vow, wide open now...
Old as the morning, new as the day
I hear - orchestras play in the Angel Light
All cross the universe tonight



Gold rising on ribbons of fire, the angel light
See the door is wide open now
I'm just looking and hoping now
I can see you there - in the angel light
Old as the morning, new as the day
I got - orchestras playing the Angel Light
All cross the universe tonight

BETHLEHEM TOWN 


And the light was shining all around
We were scared, just huddled on the ground
And the angel of the Lord,
he said 'it's yours, don't be sad,
peace on earth and good news I bring to all
Go look inside a stable door' Tonight
with eyes all aglow
What do we know
Where should we go?
Tonight, tonight, tonight.
Let's go down to BETHLEHEM TOWN tonight.

For the light is shining all around
And if hope is ever to be found
we're wasting time standing here
Turn around look inside a stable door
see what the world has waited for 
Tonight with eyes all aglow
What do we know?
Where should we go?
Tonight, tonight, tonight.
Let's go down to BETHLEHEM TOWN tonight.

Don't be sad,
peace on earth and good news I bring to all
Go look inside a stable door
Tonight
with eyes all aglow
Tonight, tonight, tonight.
Let's go down to BETHLEHEM TOWN tonight.

BLESSED IS HE




Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!

Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor
Baruch, baruch ha ba b'shem Adonai
Béni est lu, qui vient au nom du Seigneur
Benedetto è lui che viene al nome del Signore

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT

When are you going to
Give the glory and the credit unto Him
When are you going to
Give the glory and the honour to the Lord
YOUR BLESSING LIES
with the Lord on high
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!


When are you gonna say
everything you have was given from His hand
When are you gonna see
now everything you own belongs to Him
YOUR BLESSING LIES
with the Lord on high
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

GREYSTONE DAY



'Oft times I walk
to the chapel upon a hill
where hope is waiting still
on a GreyStone day

There would I hear
of the love that can never die
the sweetest lullaby
on a GreyStone day

I turn my collar to the hurtful things they say
All my tomorrows trace a path across this stony way   


Then sings my heart
as I stand in the shepherds fold
Safe from the raging cold
on this GreyStone day

Sing out for me - Sing out for me
songs that will echo 'til the clouds have ceased to be  
Oh-oh oh-oh, Oh-oh oh-oh
sounds that will fill the halls of heaven eternally.

I turn my collar to the hurtful things they say
All my tomorrows trace a path across this stony way   

'Oft times I walk
to the chapel upon a hill
where hope is waiting still
on a GreyStone day

Then sings my heart
of the love that will never die
the sweetest lullaby
on a GreyStone day.

ANOINTING


Let your anointing fall like refreshing rain
Let it come down into our lives, let it remain

Let your anointing be the cloud in our day
and in the night, a pillar of fire leading the way


And let your church arise
And set your name on high

Let your anointing come like manna from on high
for we're lost, in a strange land, hungry and dry.

Oh let it be - our portion we pray
let the song of the wilderness fade away

And let your church arise
And set your name on high

Let it fall, Let it fall,
let it drizzle, let it pour
Let it fall, Let it fall,
on our heads,
on the windows, the lintels, the doors,
won't you let it fall.

Let it rain like never before
Let the Spirit flow down on us all
Let it rain Oh Lord let it pour
Let it rain, let it rain.

Let your anointing be like the cloud that moves by day
and in the night, a pillar of fire guiding the way

And let your church arise
And set your name on high

CHRISTMAS STORY

Just a little baby, just a little boy
ordained by God on high to change the world for evermore

Just a little baby, little helpless child
but Kings came from afar and shepherds from the mountain side

Just to see the little baby, look and see for themselves
You've got to make that trip, you can't send somebody else

No, no ,no, no, no - you've got to open that door
cos that baby is Jesus Christ and he's alive for evermore

He's ONE BRIGHT STAR
shining hope into a world so dark
One bright star-
calling out to every waiting heart
Calling me, calling you, calling everybody 'neath the big wide blue.

That's the Christmas Story, the Christmas song
and don't they wonder why it never fades, it just goes on   

Started out way down in Bethlehem so very long ago
but he's still going strong 2,000 years along the road

He's ONE BRIGHT STAR
shining hope across a world so dark
One bright star-
calling now to every waiting heart
Calling me, calling you, calling everybody 'neath the big wide blue.

CHRISTMAS BELLS


Now the Christmas Bells are ringing
children singing every where
Songs of praise and adoration
to the baby laying there

Fill the Earth with songs of joy
Every girl and boy

Now the Christmas Bells are ringing
All God's blessings to you bring
a happy Christmas, children singing
Hallelujah to the King



Now the Christmas Bells are ringing
children singing every where
Songs of praise and adoration
to the baby laying there

Fill the Earth with songs of joy
Every girl and boy

Now the Christmas Bells are ringing
All God's blessings to you bring
a happy Christmas, children singing
Hallelujah to the King
