| Bankrupt, boring little city
|
| And the city don’t know what a gift it is getting
|
| But crammed Bethlehem has a guest star in her
|
| Who goes with everything at Yule dinner
|
| I’m surprised no one seemed to visit
|
| Since the former king and psalmist was once born in it
|
| Saul came, don’t you know he then moved
|
| David’s his general, you can’t fault him for that can you?
|
| He’s fightin' with the Philistines -- why waste time -- on -- on this place?
|
| One night in Bethlehem the world played hostess
|
| The barn was simple but it sure came cheap
|
| The Son of God would change the winter solstice
|
| And if you’re looking at the goats and sheep
|
| I can see an angel flying up to me
|
| Young child, Mary was his mother
|
| But they’ll head down over to Egypt, brother
|
| There’s a dragnet involved, it’s really such a pity
|
| Herod’s looking for the boy — not looking apathetic
|
| Wait a minute
|
| He thinks one child can politically bring him down?
|
| Jesus, young and sweet (young, sweet)
|
| King Herod’s fed up and things are gonna get ugly
|
| That guy’s a tough Tyrannosaurus
|
| Whose every move is fast and furious
|
| I’d get my kid across the state line at crunch time
|
| One night in Bethlehem the start was humble
|
| Not much to see but there was history
|
| One guy was sent to end the 12 Tribes' troubles
|
| So be prepared to meet your coming king
|
| I can see the Gentiles watch expectantly
|
| Wise men are gonna be in Guinness
|
| As the ultimate quest to celebrate Christmas
|
| These gifts seem more than you’d have
|
| Brought a young ruler of the Tribe of Judah
|
| Praise God, He’s always watching His Word, fulfilling it
|
| I don’t see two guys raised in
|
| The time and place Zion’s prophets placed Him
|
| I’ll bet you lunch you couldn’t find two
|
| But it seems these clues do not entice you
|
| So you’d better go back to the start, and the symbols from your forefathers
|
| One night in Bethlehem the world rejoices
|
| The barn’s no temple, but that Boy’s a Priest
|
| It’s time for God so raise your golden voices
|
| He’s in the flesh, a little mystery
|
| I can see the angels flying just to see
|
| One night in Bethlehem the start was humble
|
| Not much to see but there was history
|
| The Christ was sent to end the 12 Tribes' troubles
|
| And with a careful look at prophecy
|
| I can see a dreidel on your Christmas tree |
