Buenas Noches From Nacogdoches
Music & Lyrics by : Rich Mullins, David Beaker, Mitch McVicker
Second Thessalonians 3:16-18 – 2. Thessalonicher 3, 16 - 18 

there is something I have found 
in the hush of the quieting sounds 
on the falling of dusk 
and the chirping of crickets 
and the slowing fading distance 
of this world that's spinning 'round 
it's spinning upright and then upside down, 
and as the night bends to cover the day with her kisses 
it's like a lover's benediction 
that I'm sending to you now 
if it can reach past the streets of this town, 
then you might hear the voice of a heart that's been lifted 
by the song the night has given 

buenas noches from Nacogdoches 
from me and from every star God lit in the heart 
of the heavens that hang over Texas 
may your dreams find you in a tangle of fine Spanish angels 
whose halos are bright yellow roses 
buenas noches 

so this is no lullaby 
that I send on the wings of this night 
wings that flutter as silent as goldenrods blooming 
bursting from bud into beauty 
in a way I can't describe 
in a way that's so changing my life 
that the holds that once held me 
have all now been loosened 
and I can hear the music 

buenas noches from Nacogdoches 
from me and from every star God lit in the heart 
of the heavens that hang over Texas 
may your dreams find you in a tangle of fine Spanish angels 
whose halos are bright yellow roses 
buenas noches
