I am Joseph, I am Mary, I’m traveling on a journey
|
And I’m carrying a promise that I can’t see
|
I am scared and I’m excited
|
I don’t really know what lies ahead of me
|
|
And I’m a shepherd on the hillside as common as the clothes I wear
|
That smell like I’ve been sleeping in a barn
|
The last people in this world to ever bow before a king
|
But here we are
|
|
God is with us
|
God is for us
|
This is my story and this is my song
|
And God is with us
|
And God is for us all
|
|
And I am Herod in the palace that my pride can build around me
|
I start thinking I’m the one and only king
|
Trying desperately to stay upon a throne that never did belong to me
|
|
And I am riding with the wise men over hills and through the darkest valleys
|
Fixed on the star that lights our way
|
Bringing all the gifts I have to give in worship
|
When I finally see my Savior’s face
|
|
So let’s all gather at the manger
|
And bring all our hopes and hurts and fears
|
All of our unworthiness and shame
|
Knowing every one of us is the reason that He came
|
