Bethlehem ft. Josiah Williams Lyrics

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes & fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

Yeah, oh town of Bethlehem

Lit-lit-little like a leprechaun

And lit up by the never-ending light that could rescue all men

So we're here to share it like Netflix logins

The savior was born in a manger and gathered on high

Up-up-up-above

While mortals are sleeping the angels are keeping their watch of wondering love

All the morning stars sang together

Just to proclaim the child's holy birth

Praises up to Almighty God the King

And peace to women and men all over the earth

And although we deserve to be cursed & deserted

For the dirt and surge in perversion (we're filthy)

He put it all up on a perfect surrogate

Birthed through a virgin 'cause He was certain we were worth it

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes & fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

I have been promised a gift

And not necessarily wrapped

This one will marry the gap

God had a plan for us to be together

He sent the Messiah to keep it intact

Trouble arrives, they say "speak of the devil"

But watch how the people gon' speak of the baby

Watch how He live by example

And light up a candle

To brighten the shadowed and shady

How we've been living is not honest to God's knowledge

He said He gon' fix it like Felix

Story might end like the rise of the phoenix

But starts with the perfect arrival of Jesus (that's how it all starts)

I'm filled with a spirited Holy

The Lord has arrived to us

In Christ, I trust

Excited you get to abide with us

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes & fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight
