Steve Amerson's 'Where Else Would a Lamb Be Born?' is a Christmas song that reflects on the humble circumstances of Jesus' birth. The lyrics contrast the expectation of a royal arrival with the reality of a stable, emphasizing that God's gift of love came in the form of a vulnerable infant. The song draws a connection between the manger and the cross, portraying Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb who would later give His life for humanity. It highlights the paradox of the King of Kings being born in such lowly conditions, yet it was the perfect setting for the Lamb of God.

Verse One

No proper place

No regal palace

To receive a royal birth

God's gift of love

Wrapped in an blanket (Infant)

Would be His way to reach the earth


Chorus

A bed of straw became a cradle

Embracing God in human form

One would expect more than a stable

But where else would a Lamb be born

But where else would a Lamb be born


Verse Two

No stately house

No noble mansion

Where He would reign in majesty

The path He chose

Led to an altar

Where He would give His life for me.


Bridge

He is the great I AM

The sacrificial lamb

Who takes away the sins of the world
