[length: 04:46]
[00:28.00]It was not a silent night
[00:34.79]There was blood on the ground
[00:41.77]You could hear a woman cry
[00:45.28]In the alleyways that night
[00:48.78]On the streets of David’s town
[00:55.42]And the stable was not clean
[01:02.33]And the cobblestones were cold
[01:08.98]And little Mary full of grace
[01:12.77]With the tears upon her face
[01:16.14]Had no mother’s hand to hold
[01:22.86]It was a labor of pain
[01:30.02]It was a cold sky above
[01:36.76]But for the girl on the ground in the dark
[01:40.48]Every beat of her beautiful heart
[01:43.97]Was a labor of love
[01:50.95]Noble Joseph by her side
[01:57.44]His callused hands and weary eyes
[02:04.65]There were no midwives to be found
[02:08.40]On the streets of David’s town
[02:11.98]In the middle of the night
[02:18.55]And so, he held her, and he prayed
[02:25.70]Shafts of moonlight on his face
[02:32.63]But the baby in her womb
[02:35.89]He was the maker of the moon
[02:39.12]He was the author of the faith
[02:42.96]That could make the mountains move
[02:52.14]
[03:17.45]It was a labor of pain
[03:24.47]It was a cold sky above
[03:31.02]But for the girl on the ground in the dark
[03:34.86]Every beat of her beautiful heart
[03:38.24]Was a labor of love
[03:44.73]For little Mary full of grace
[03:48.54]With the tears upon her face
[03:52.01]It was a labor of love
[04:09.71]It was not a silent night
[04:16.71]On the streets of David’s town
