Bethlehem's Story

Away in a manger, wrapped in cloth was a baby                                                                                                                                                                                                           no one knew who he was may be,                                                                                                                       yet a star showed him, who he was                                                                                                              the shepherd worshiped the savior                                                                                                                                                                   the wise man bowed down, not knowing who they were naturally
Herod tried to kill him not knowing his time has not yet come                                                                                              the prophet prophesied the sovereign god                                                                                                         the child jumped not knowing it was in a womb surrounded
As he passed the street the blind saw, the lame walked                                                                                                the deaf heard and praised god, the leaper was cleansed                                                                           there was not one stone left unturned                                                                                                                  people tried to derail him from the cross                                                                                                                                   but it was us in his heart
The soldiers tried to wound him not knowing it is for their wounds to be healed                                                                                                             they  put a crown of thorns on him not knowing it is for their curses removed                                                                                  they nailed him on the cross not knowing it is for them to be free                                                                                                                                      they put him in the tomb not knowing he will raise on the third day                                                                                                            most of all they thought they had defeated him not knowing they have just paved way for his victory
O ,lord how can I thank you                                                                                                                                  what can I give you                                                                                                                                                                       I consecrate my life to you                                                                                                                                                      oh what love that forgives                                                                                                                                                                               betrayed yet with a smile he said                                                                                                                                love you my  child
