Read again this story, which I've heard for all my life
And open up the door of, your heart and be surprised
There is no innkeeper, no donkey, maybe sheep
We do know there's a baby, come to rescue and redeem
Armies and an emperor, far away in sunny Rome
We must sign our names, so to Bethlehem we will go
The journey nearly killed us, not just a casual stroll
We laid him in a manger, this the greatest guest of all
There was much distraction, on this first lone Christmas night
Many surely missed, darkness being met by light
And there are still distractions, each year when Christmas comes around
So help us not to miss, this coming King, your coming crown
Our houses may be full, as this season comes around
Bethlehem overloaded, not a room left in the town
And at our hearts someone's knocking, He's begging to come in
So make plenty room for Jesus, He's the greatest guest there is
And at our hearts someone's knocking, He's begging to come in
So make plenty room for Jesus, He's the greatest guest there is
