Bethlehem Was Sold Out

Bethlehem was sold out except for the stable.
Christmas story, the snowy swaddle of a babe.
His prophetic lineage, as old as Father Abe.
Healing, forgiveness of sins - wholly capable.

Star light, star bright, the brightest illumination
of all the stars, the sun, the moon and angels.
Hear trumpets blow and choir of Christmas bells.
At the brink of breakthrough, presenting salvation.

Father God looked on as his son, the earth received.
The devil was aware and went into murder mode,
was afraid to be stepped on, for his head to explode.
The roundup of shepherds and wise men believed.

Star light, star bright, the brightest illumination
of all the stars, the sun, the moon and angels.
Hear trumpets blow and choir of Christmas bells.
At the brink of breakthrough, presenting salvation.
