Just a Girl

Lyrics

I wonder if you've heard the story
 Of little fame and lesser glory
 The night, the keeper of the inn
 The little town of Bethlehem
 Encountered Joseph and his Mary
 About to birth the Saviour of the world
 
 His wife said, go and see who's knocking
 He ran down to the gate unlocked it
 The moment he heard Mary's cry
 He couldn't look them in the eye
 Denied them and went back to bed
 When his wife asked who was there
 He said, I don't know
 Just a girl
 Just a couple gypsies begging at the door
 Told them we don't have room for any more
 And closed the door
 It was just a girl
 ♪
 He tried to sleep and wasn't able
 He snuck out to the dirty stable
 The two had found for covering
 And later in her suffering
 The keeper knelt outside the barn
 And in the light of that great star
 He prayed what have I done
 He's just a babe
 Just minutes old, they're trembling in the hay
 I could have found a room for them to stay
 I'm so ashamed
 He's just a babe
 
 There was no robe
 There was no crown
 The shepherds stood
 On royal ground
 The keeper wept
 For what he'd done
 He turned away
 God's own Son
 
 Just a King
 Just a million angels crowding in to see
 Jesus there among humanity
 Just a babe
 Just minutes old, they're trembling in the hay
 Staring at his mother in the face
 She's just a girl
 Just a girl
 Does she even know that she just changed the world
 Does she even know that He will save the world
 Does Mary know that He will save the world
 She's just a girl
 ♪
 Just a girl
 
 Just a girl
