Lyrics Love Has Brought Him Here - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Love Has Brought Him Here

In the crowded streets of this desert town
I’ve heard the rumor going 'round
But it doesn’t seem the time or place
For a Savior child to bring His grace
There’s too much trouble, greed and tears
Who could greet Him, conscience clear?
And who among us would believe
Till the trumpets sound His song
That the promised one has come
Then a star came out and the cattle low
And the street turned bright with a manger’s glow
I thought I heard the message clear that love has brought Him here
Who are these people, peasant poor
Who sit inside the stable door
Where is the sense in such a choice
What have we waited for
Seems a King should have much more
Then the star turned bright and the mother smiled
At this gift of life her precious child
I saw right then the message clear that love has brought Him here
Then the star came out and the cattle low
And the street shone bright with a manger’s glow
And this old world will one day know the love that’s brought Him here
The love that’s brought Him here
The love that’s brought Him here
