The noise started down in Bethlehem
In the stillness of the night
King Herod tried to quiet Him
But in the barn you could hear that baby cry
They couldn't shut Him up
They couldn't keep Him down
They couldn't stop what He was born to do, no
They tried to silence Him
By crucifying Him
They tried to seal Him in a cold, dark tomb, but
When it was all said and done, they couldn't shut Him up
I bet that rock weighed a couple tons
The one in front of where He laid
His friends were looking but they found no one
He was gone and that stone was rolled away
They couldn't shut Him up
They couldn't keep Him down
They couldn't stop what He was born to do, no
They tried to silence Him
By crucifying Him
They tried to seal Him in a cold, dark tomb, but
When it was all said and done, they couldn't shut Him up
From the stable to the sermon on the mount
The couldn't hush Him couldn't drown Him out
They couldn't shut Him up
They couldn't keep Him down
They couldn't stop what He was born to do, no
They tried to silence Him
By crucifying Him
They tried to seal Him in a cold, dark tomb, but
When it was all said and done
They couldn't shut Him up
They couldn't keep Him down
They couldn't stop what He was born to do, no
They tried to silence Him
By crucifying Him
They tried to seal Him in a cold, dark tomb, but
When it was all said and done, they couldn't shut Him up
