Lyrics

This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Verse 1 I'm sure he must have been surprised At where this road had taken him 'Cause never in a million lives Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem And standing at the manger He saw with his own eyes The message from the angel come to life And Joseph said Chorus Why me I'm just a simple man of trade Why Him with all the rulers in the world Why here inside this stable filled with hay Why her she's just an ordinary girl Now I'm not one to second guess What angels have to say But this is such a strange way To save the world Verse 2 To think of how it could have been If Jesus had come as He deserved There would have been no Bethlehem No lowly shepherds at His birth But Joseph knew the reason Love had to reach so far And as he held the Savior in his arms He must have thought Bridge For unto you is born this day A Savior Christ the Lord Haste, haste to bring him laud The Babe, the Son of Mary Ending Now I'm not one to second guess What angels have to say But this is such a strange way To save the world This is such a strange way Such a strange way A strange way to save the world Such a strange way (to save the world)...
