Lyrics
A TINY TOWN
Bethlehem, just a tiny town
No one important ever comes around
Just south of the city on a no name road
Who knows what the future holds?
The Magi followed a shining star
Shepherds heard angelic voices from afar
Gold, frankincense and myrrh they bring
Shepherds worship a tiny king
Bethlehem, city of David, the Savior is born in you
Herod’s sword found a home in you
Slew all the boy babies to the age of two
Rachel wept without relief
She found no pity. she found no peace
A day would come, so the prophets told
A ruler came both strong and bold
His going forth from the days of old
His story must be told
Now this boy must grow into a man
Fulfill the destiny that His Father planned
A humble manger to a wooden cross
An infant king to save the lost
Bethlehem, just a tiny town
Someone important finally came around
