Jars Of Clay - Bethlehem Town Lyrics
oh, mary, joseph, rest your eyestry not to think of the endingworld full of empty, He will diebut tonight He is still just a childthe silent night drifts all awayand the angels are dancing around youthere's the joy of knowing He'll save the worldovershadowing the pain that He'll go throughCHORUS:have you cursed at the windhave you cried to the heavenshave you fought with this mercy you don't understandwhen the wise men kneel downto kiss the hand of this king they foundin bethlehem townwill you hold back the years a whilewill you dream that this man could always be a childand never carry all the weightof the dirt and the distance and the company we keep[CHORUS]and did the stars shine much brighter that nightyou gave birth to the death that would bring us to lifeand did the mystery keep you awakewas the sound of His little heart too much to takeoh, i don't understandwhen the wise men kneel downto kiss the hand of this king they found[CHORUS]in bethlehem townin bethlehem town
