I Was Born in Bethlehem (Live)

Lyrics

I was born in Bethlehem
 2,000 years have passed since then
 And I've done what I can
 To be there when a man can't find a friend
 On the streets of Bethlehem
 As the story always said
 We were trying to find a bed
 It was cold, I was late
 And we stood outside the locked gate of the inn
 Until the kindness of strangers let us in
 To a stable 'round the back
 Little more than a shack
 Where my sweet mother, meek and mild
 And herself only a child
 Gave her best, then took her rest
 Do do do do do do do...
 At the door then came a knock
 Shepherds who had quit their flock
 With their eyes round with fear
 Daddy jumped up and cried
 "Get out of here!"
 But Mother stilled him and bid them draw near
 I was there but couldn't see
 The unfolding mystery
 Kings with their presents
 Of gold, myrrh and frankincense
 Who set them
 Before the Lamb
 'Neath the star of Bethlehem
 I was born in Bethlehem
 It's been 2,000 years since then
 But I've done what I can
 To be there when a man can't find a friend
 I was born in Bethlehem
