Song 1 : "SAME OLD NIGHT"
(Sung by Levi, Eli & Simeon in Act 1)
Verse 1:
LEVI: Yo, it’s the same old night in the same old field,
With the same old stars that never yield.
Same sheep baa, same chilly breeze,
We’re heroes of boredom, with knobby knees!
Verse 2:
ELI: Woke up to the moon with a yawn so wide,
Thought a sheep winked—got nationwide pride!
Countin’ stars like coins, one, two, three,
Bet none of them blink back at me!
Verse 3:
SIMEON: Old Simeon here, beard gray with grace,
Still chasin’ lambs all over the place.
If sheep had medals, I’d win gold,
But this shepherd life? Gets mighty old.
Chorus (all three):
Same old night with the same old song,
Tryna stay warm, just hangin’ on.
But who needs glory, who needs fame?
When your best friends keep playin’ the same old game!

Song 2: "QUEEN OF DOORS AND KEYS"
(Sung by Judith in Act 3)
I’m Judith, queen of doors and keys,
Hostess grand of Bethlehem’s breeze.
Ministers dined in my hall of rooms,
While I soaked figs in cinnamon fumes.
From nobles grim to merchants wide,
They’ve begged for rooms with humbled pride.
I’ve served the mighty, the moody, the sore,
And only ever raised my score.
No coins, no talk—just good and gold,
Or stories grand enough to be told.
But mark me now, in this census mess—
Even Judith can’t grant nobles finesse!
Still I offer straw, a roof that’s thin,
Because behind my pride beats heart within.
Song 3: “In My Arms, A King”
Sung by Mary in Act 5
[Verse 1]
So small, so still, upon my chest
The world is hushed, my soul finds rest
The sky has sung, the angels cried
And now You sleep by candlelight
My hands once trembled at Your name
And now they hold You, just the same
But how can heaven lie so near?
The Holy One, so helpless here [
Chorus]
In my arms, a King, yet soft and warm
The Lord of all, now safely born
No crown of gold, no royal ring
But heaven sings—in my arms, a King
What gift is this, what love so deep?
To give the world a child to keep
The light of all now gently clings To me,
His mother—in my arms, a King
[Verse 2]
I kissed His brow, I dried His tears
I whispered hope through quiet fears
And though I cannot see it all I know
He came to lift the fall
Will nations bow before His grace?
Will thorns one day adorn His face?
O God, my heart can barely breathe
That You chose me, through faith, to believe
[Chorus]
In my arms, a King, yet soft and warm
The Lord of all, now safely born
No crown of gold, no royal ring
But heaven sings—in my arms, a King
What gift is this, what love so deep?
To give the world a child to keep
The light of all now gently clings
To me, His mother—in my arms, a King
[Bridge]
Will You walk where sinners trod?
Will You stretch the hands of God?
My child, my son, the Holy One
Your journey has only begun
[Final Chorus – with more emotion]
In my arms, a King, my heart, my joy
The world's salvation, Mary's boy
No throne, no guards, no worldly thing
But peace has come—in my arms, a King
And though I know what pain may bring
I'll trust in God—for in my arms...
I cradle love...
I cradle life...
I cradle Christ... a King.
Song 4: "The Star of Bethlehem"
(Sung by all in Act 6)
(Verse 1)
On a silent night so long ago,
A light was shining, soft and low.
A tiny child in a manger lay,
Bringing hope to light the way.
(Chorus – All Characters Join In)
Oh, the Star of Bethlehem,
Guiding us to peace again.
Love has come, the King is born,
Bringing light to a world forlorn.
(Verse 2)
Shepherds ran and wise men bowed,
Heaven’s glory filled the clouds.
Angels sang of joy and grace,
God had come to take our place.
(Chorus)
Oh, the Star of Bethlehem,
Guiding us to peace again.
Love has come, the King is born,
Bringing light to a world forlorn.
(Final Chorus – Building in Power)
Oh, the Star of Bethlehem,
Guiding us to peace again.
Love has come, the King is born,
Bringing light to a world forlorn.
