Song:
Tears of Joy
Spoken:
Joseph finds out they have to go to
Bethlehem to pay taxes.
A decree went out from
Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.
Joseph too went up
from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea,
to Bethlehem to be
enrolled with Mary his betrothed who was with child.
Verse
1:
Mary and Joseph traveled to an inn. But, the
innkeeper had no room for them
He let them spend the night In his stable full of hay
Thats where baby Jesus was born that Christmas day.
Verse
2:
Joseph stood and marveled at the holy sight
Around the babys head seemed a glowing light
Mary held the baby and rocked him off to sleep
She kissed him gently, then she began to weep.
Chorus:
They werent tears of sorrow. They were tears of joy
There was something special about the baby boy
Weve all heard the stories just as they were told
About the little baby who shivered in the cold.
Verse
3:
Some Shepherds heard the news of that Special Night
They followed the star above that was shining bright
They knew in an instant, the baby was the King
And from the heavens, Angles began to sing
Verse
4:
Three wise men also came from afar (Alleluia sung as a descant during this
verse)
They too had followed, the same bright star
As they gave the baby gifts, Mary realized
How special Jesus was and tears filled her eyes.
Chorus: echo
They werent tears of sorrow. They were tears of joy .and the angels sang Alleluia
There was something special about the baby boy..and
the angels sang, Alleluia
Weve all heard the stories just as they were told
About the little baby that shivered in the cold.
About the little baby that shivered in the cold.
