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!

[Solo] D  Dm  A  A/C#  Bm  G  D  A/C#  Bm  G


    A

Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night

       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
