Bethlehem In Birmingham |
| Christmas Eve in Birmingham |
| It’s a long, long way from Bethlehem |
| Mary and Joe live outside of town |
| On an old, run-down farm |
| Mary says, Joe, you’d better get the car |
| My contractions ain’t that far apart |
| But that Falcon stalled after sixty yards |
| Out behind the barn |
| So away to the stables go Mary and Joe |
| Now, it’s not much shelter, but it keeps them from the cold |
| Mary’s hurtin', Joe prays to God for a helping hand |
| They need a Bethlehem miracle tonight in Birmingham |
| A kerosene lantern is the only light |
| Joe says, Mary, don’t give up the fight |
| She’s gonna keep pushin’till the baby cries |
| If it takes her last breath |
| And as the dawn begins to break |
| Across the fields, valleys and the lakes |
| A baby’s cry greets the light of day |
| Merry Christmas and God bless |
| Second chorus: |
| So away in the stables lay Mary, the baby and Joe |
| It’s not much shelter, but it keeps them from the cold |
| Mary’s cradles her baby, Joe thanks God for the helping hand |
| There was a Bethlehem miracle last night in Birmingham |
| A Bethlehem miracle last night in Birmingham |
