JJ Heller's 'Born In Me' is a reflective Christmas song that marvels at the miracle of Christ's birth. The lyrics ponder how a small stable could hold such a world-changing story, and how a peasant girl was chosen to mother the King of the world. The song emphasizes the hope that Jesus brings, describing how a tiny spark grows into a flame that erases darkness, and how His first breath begins the conquest of death. It celebrates the uplifting of the lowly and the joy of rejoicing with angels, ultimately expressing a personal sense of hope being born in the listener.

How can it be that a stable so small
Could somehow contain enough room for us all
It's a story that turned the whole world upside down
Giving birth to a Kingdom where lost hopes are found
It might sound too wonderful
Too good to be
I think I feel hope being born in me
How can it be that a poor peasant girl
Was chosen to mother the king of the world
And there in that moment the tiniest spark
Grew into the flame that erases the dark
It might sound too wonderful
Too good to be
I think I feel hope being born in me
How could it be that a baby's first breath
Would be the beginning of conquering death
The lowly are lifted and given a voice
Now they sing with the angels "Rejoice!"
It might sound too wonderful
Too good to be
I think I feel hope being born in me
It might sound too wonderful
Too good to be
I think I feel hope being born in me
