Lyrics
Where was Jesus born, tell me, tell me?
He was born in a manger
In a stable in Bethlehem city
Why a stable, tell me, tell me?
Because there was no other shelter
In Bethlehem city
Who was his father, who was his mother?
Were they gods or were they angels?
His father was Joseph, his mother was Mary
And they were ordinary people
Just like everyone else in the land
Tell me, tell me, when did this happen?
It happened so many years ago
In Bethlehem city
How many years ago, tell me, tell me?
Nearly two thousand years ago
In Bethlehem city
When he lived on earth, what did Jesus do?
Did he talk with kings and princes?
Not with kings or with princes
But with shepherds and fishermen
In the hills and fields and towns on Galilee's shore
And why were people cruel? Why did people scorn?
And why was Herod jealous of the babe on Christmas morn?
And why did Jesus have to die, and did they have to crucify?
He died to bring us peace
He died to bring us love
He died that we might live
Where is Jesus now, tell me, tell me?
He is Lord of the world
And he reigns with his Father in heaven
Show me Jesus now, show me, show me
He is here in faith
He is here in love
He is here in us
