Oh Silent, Silent Night
by

Vicki Wood

One night, Joseph had a life-like dream.
The message was, "Joseph, your future wife,
Mary, is soon to present to you a baby!"
As he sat up in his bed,
He thought "Impossible it seems!"

As time grew closer, Joseph asked,
"Where, dear God, where shall we stay?
We've traveled for so long and we are, oh, so tired!
There's no rooms, no beds. There's just no place to lay!"

Oh, silent, silent night, how awesome is the sound
For up in the darkest of skies, the brightest-shiniest star
Gave them light for a bed to be found.

It shined upon Bethlehem, where Joseph and Mary were led
For this very special evening. As they so tiredly wandered,
They kept looking and looking ~ just looking for a bed.

As they entered into Bethlehem, so tired and weak,
They came to an Inn and said,
"Dearest sir, do you have a place for us to sleep?"

He said, so sorrowful, "Not here in the Inn,
But my stable there might!"
There was one empty stable, so Joseph said,
"I thank you kind sir. May we use it, just for tonight?"

As the Inn-keeper left, Joseph started to gather up straw and hay.
For, this special evening, Precious Jesus was born
And it was in that cold, cold, manger was where He must lay.

As Joseph and Mary looked upon the tiny face of Jesus and smiled
The Star of Bethlehem shines brighter and brighter to guide the way
For the animals, the three wise men, and
Even the little drummer boy; from miles and miles away.
