Lyrics and chords
14 The Flight To Egypt (Matthew 2. 14-15)
D C Bm G
Journey on your way, Son of God, on a long, dusty road,
D Em A
Leaving far behind the town of Bethlehem.
G/A D C Bm G
Off into the cold, lonely night, while the stars twinkle on,
D G D G
Don't come back for a while, don't come back for a while,
D
Take your flight
D C Bm G
Journey on your way, Son of God, though the night closes in,
D Em A
Loving arms will hold you, keep you safe from harm.
G/A D C Bm G
You'll find shelter soon, little one, in a far distant land.
D G D G
You'll be there for a while, you'll be there for a while,
D
Sleep tight.
D C Bm G
Journey on your way, Son of God, You'll be back one fine day.
D Em A
When the time is right, your parents will be told.
G/A D C Bm G
In the meantime, shine little one, though the darkness has come.
D G D G
This world needs such a smile, this world needs your bright light,
D
Journey on.
