The night gets slowly darker as crowds fill up the streets
Several inns are filling up with people needing sleep
Among them is a young lass who soon expects a child
She's tired and in pain after traveling for a while

Her husband goes from door to door, looking for a place
But every single time a look of sadness fills his face
There's no place to hang his hat and nowhere to lay his head
But even more important is his wife who needs a bed

 A lady hears their troubles and offers her advice
Perhaps a little stable could be shelter for the night
She leads them far away from the bustle of the crowd
And piles up some straw for a bed upon the ground

The man and his lady settle in for the night 
The baby's coming fast as she labors out of sight 
And soon a cry is heard that Is barely heard at all
The Son of God is born this day, Savior of us all

An angel then appears to some shepherds in the field
“Peace” the angel echoed as the shepherds bowed in fear 
Today is born a Savior, go and see what God has done
Then the shepherds left their flocks and set out on a run

They came upon the stable that the angel had foretold
And there they saw the baby that had come to save the world
Rejoicing in this truth, they went out to tell the world
A baby has been born this day, the Savior of the world

We’re never told if folks received the message they proclaimed
We’re never told if folks believed and called upon His name
The only thing we know is that they did what they were told
I have no doubt they want about with words that were quite bold

I need that kind of passion to proclaim Messiah’s birth
In a world where Christmas is a time of merriment and mirth
So many people celebrate, and so few really know
The truth of why He came and the Love that He has shown

This Christmas let us share His story everywhere we go
Don’t miss an opportunity to let His love be known
For if this season passes by and we’ve not said a word
Wee may not have another chance to lead them to the Lord
