Miracles Ride On Christmas Night

Intro: D  A/C#  Bm  G  D 

D 
It was Christmas Eve in the snowbound west 
       A/C# 
I was ridin' alone, just a man and his vest 
Bm 
Stars were shining, the air was cold 
       G 
When I heard a cry from the canyon below 
D 
There he was, a colt so young 
  A/C# 
A broken leg and his hope undone 
        Bm 
But his eyes still burned like a midnight flame 
      G 
And I knew right then, he'd be saved again 
    A 
Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night 
     G 
When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright 
       A 
With a little faith and a helping hand 
       G 
We can heal the broken in this promised land 
   D            G                 D 
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight! 
D 
I took him home to the old red barn 
   A/C# 
Wrapped him up safe from the winter's harm 
   Bm 
Grandpa's words rang in my mind 
      G 
(The spirit of Christmas is the healing kind.) 
D 
I worked through the night with my hands and soul 
A/C# 
Bound his leg, set a brand-new goal 
   Bm 
By morning light, he took a stand 
     G 
With wobbly steps, he touched my hand 

    A 
Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night 
     G 
When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright 
       A 
With a little faith and a helping hand 
       G 
We can heal the broken in this promised land 
   D            G                D 
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight! 

Solo D  A  A/C#  Bm  G  D  A/C#  Bm  G 

D 
Then came a sound from the northern wind 
   A/C# 
A jingle of bells and a laugh that grinned 
      Bm 
There stood Santa with his sleigh and crew 
G 
(My friend, we've got work for you!) 
D 
The colt stood tall, his spirit ablaze 
A/C# 
Santa smiled, (This is Christmas grace.) 
   Bm 
We hitched him up, and away we flew 
            G 
Through the starry night, spreading dreams anew 

    A 
Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night 
     G 
When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright 
       A 
With a little faith and a helping hand 
       G 
We can heal the broken in this promised land 
   D            G                D 
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight!

D              A 
As the morning broke on a peaceful town 
Bm                            G 
Joy had spread, and love came down 
G              D           G        A 
That colt now runs with a spirit high 

D           G         A                 D 
A Christmas miracle beneath the western sky
