LYRICS: Oh, Mary, Joseph, rest your eyes. Try not to think of the ending. World full of empty, He will die. But tonight He is still just a child. The silent night drifts all away. And the angels are dancing around you. There's the joy of knowing He'll save the world. Overshadowing the pain that He'll go through. CHORUS: Have you cursed at the wind? Have you cried to the heavens? Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand? When the wise men kneel down to kiss the hand of this king they found. In Bethlehem town. Will you hold back the years a while? Will you dream that this man could always be a child? And never carry all the weight of the dirt and the distance and the company we keep. REPEAT CHORUS And did the stars shine much brighter that night? You gave birth to the death that would bring us to life. And did the mystery keep you awake? Was the sound of His little heart too much to take? Oh, I don't understand. When the wise men kneel down to kiss the hand of this king they found. REPEAT CHORUS In Bethlehem town. In Bethlehem town. --------------------------------------------------------- Album: City on a hill: It's Christmas Time Artist/group: Jars of Clay Released: 2002 City on a Hill: It's Christmas Time is the third album released in the City on a Hill series of compilation albums by popular CCM musicians.
