Christmas song

1.

In a stable in Bethlehem, no room that night

Mary and Joseph lay down to sleep where a star was shining bright

In the still of that holy night, on a bed of straw

Mary gave the waiting world something to live for

Chorus

Mary’s Child

Born to be king

She gave birth to the son of God

And nothing would be the same

2.

In the arms of Mary, baby Jesus lay

While all around her, people came to pray

Mary cared for Jesus and watched him grow

Imagine the pain when-- she had to let him go

Chorus

Jesus was the Saviour, of you and me

The son whom God had sent, to set His people free

Some would betray Him, to all he’d be a friend

But Mary was His mother and loved Him to the end

Chorus twice and end
