Bethlehem
by Jerome Olds

Album: Family Man

Hey, mister, could you rent me a room
I ain't been to Bethelhem since late last June
He said, "Can't you see, the taxer's in town
If you find a place, it's lucky to be found

There's a barn in the back where you can stay
You gotta be careful, there's a baby on the way"
Later that morn, I heard the angels say
"In Bethlehem, a Savior is born today"

There we were, grown men starting to cry
Even the shepherds had to dry their eyes
And a Mary Mother, looked to the sky
She said, "I'll always love Him ever after He dies"

In a barn in the early part of day
We all watched a babe asleep on the hay
And I really did hear the angels say
"In Bethlehem, a Savior is born today"

A Savior, a Savior
A Savior, a Savior is born

Wise men came, young and old
Some brought gifts and some brought gold
Part of the greatest story told
They say, "This child has come to save our souls"

In a barn in the early part of day
We all watched a babe asleep on the hay
And I really did hear the angels say
"In Bethlehem, a Savior is born today"

A Savior, a Savior
A Savior, a Savior is born
A Savior, a Savior
A Savior, a Savior is born

"Glory to God in the Highest
Peace on Earth, good will"
A Savior, a child is giv'n
