Текст пісні
Out in the stable yard, she sees a glow
Could it be angel light? How would she know?
Shepherds stand wondering, afraid to come in
But the baby that's born tonight will free them all to never fear again
As He lies in a cattle trough, she kneels by His side
Sweet baby breathing, soft infant sighs
Soft sounds of swallowing as soft fingers part
Marvelous memories, she pondered then and hid them in her heart
Like a good mother would, she learned His cries
If He'd awake with a bellyache from hunger or fright
But now and then sometimes when the dark would descend
He would weep, a dark so deep, for all her love, she couldn't comprehend
Like a good mother would, she learned His cries
If He'd awake with a bellyache from hunger or fright
But now and then sometimes when the dark would descend
He would weep, a dark so deep, for all her love, she couldn't comprehend
Her warm loving carpenter, His strong gentle hands
His dark and bewildered eyes, can they understand?
That this Baby she's given him is theirs for a time
In truth, came to give Himself the treasure and the ransom of mankind
