A book was written long ago
About a man that we all know
The prophets claimed he would save the world
Born unto a virgin girl
In a dirty barn in the promised land
Was the son of god and the son of man
She looked at him and called him Jesus
There in the hills of Bethlehem
No one had any room for them
They knew that child was a real life changer
Lyin' there in a king-size manger
Shepherds watched their flocks nearby
When an angel appeared in the sky
Told 'em not to be afraid
The messiah was born today
He ain't in a palace lined with gold
You'll find him in a stable wrapped in swaddling clothes
And when they did, they bowed before him
There in the hills of Bethlehem
No one had any room for them
They knew that child was a real life changer
Lyin' there in a king-size manger
There may not have been a crown on his head
But he fulfilled every word the prophets said
There in the hills of Bethlehem
No one had any room for them
They knew that child was a real life changer
Lyin' there in a king-size manger
Lyin' there in a king-size manger
