Lyrics
Eternity stepped into time
And drew a mortal breath
This mystery so clearly seen
The world could not forget
How in the town of Bethlehem
In the most unlikely place
God the Father wore a child's face
There's something in the heart of God
So purely meek and mild
It finds its best expressions in
The longings of a child
For every child's heart has hungered
To be found and loved and known
By someone who would make their heart a home
My heart is Bethlehem
I will make room for Him
This humble dwelling place
Made worthy by His grace
This child is still adored
Because He still is born
Deep in the hearts of men
My heart is Bethlehem
My wish for you this Christmas is
That you would find true peace
That silent nights are holy nights
And wonders never cease
Where there is no remembering
The ghost of Christmas past
And God's forgiveness finds your heart at last
My heart is Bethlehem
I will make room for Him
This humble dwelling place
Made worthy by His grace
This child is still adored
Because He still is born
Deep in the hearts of men
To love and not condemn
My heart is Bethlehem
