Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

A book was written long ago

About a man that we all know

The prophets claimed he would save the world

Born unto a virgin girl

In a dirty barn in the promised land

Was the son of god and the son of man

She looked at him and called him Jesus


There in the hills of Bethlehem

No one had any room for them

They knew that child was a real life changer

Lyin' there in a king-size manger


Shepherds watched their flocks nearby

When an angel appeared in the sky

Told 'em not to be afraid

The messiah was born today

He ain't in a palace lined with gold

You'll find him in a stable wrapped in swaddling clothes

And when they did, they bowed before him


There in the hills of Bethlehem

No one had any room for them

They knew that child was a real life changer

Lyin' there in a king-size manger


There may not have been a crown on his head

But he fulfilled every word the prophets said


There in the hills of Bethlehem

No one had any room for them

They knew that child was a real life changer

Lyin' there in a king-size manger


Lyin' there in a king-size manger
