About a thousand years before it came to pass it was said that it would be
A virgin would be found to be with child and give birth to our King
And they laid Him in a manger in the town of Bethlehem
Born there in a stable 'cause there was no room in the Inn
And when He grew to be a man He began to teach
He came just for you and me to set the captives free
And He gladly gave His life for us, without one word He died
So we could live forever in Heaven by His side
And He gladly gave his life for us, without one word He died
So we could live forever in Heaven by His side
And all He asks of you and me is simply to believe
That baby boy in Bethlehem truly was our King
