Matthew West
Because of Bethlehem
[Verse 1]
Just a tiny nowhere town
With a tiny no-room inn
This is where the greatest story ever told begins
Where just a tiny beating heart
Had all creation leaning in
That night the world forever changed
Because of Bethlehem

[Turnaround]

[Verse 2]
It's where a star led to a stable
A baby's cry made angels sing
And the search to find a savior
Led to Heaven's humble King
Where the wise men found thе answer
The shephеrds found the Lamb
And I found my Immanuel
Because of Bethlehem

[Chorus]
Love is born
Hope is here
Heaven's light has made the darkness disappear
Peace on earth
Good will to men
God with us
All because of Bethlehem
[Verse 3]
From a child in a cradle
To a king upon a cross
He knew the road was leading Him
To pay a crimson cost
And when no other arms could carry
The weight of all our sin
He took the fall and it happened all
Because of Bethlehem

[Chorus]
Love is born
Hope is here
Heaven's light has made
The darkness disappear
Peace on earth
Good will to men
God with us
All because of Bethlehem

Because of Bethlehem

[Verse 4]
From a tomb that love left empty
To a Father's right hand throne
And a promise He's preparing us
A place we'll soon call home
He who came to earth from heaven
Is coming back again
And our eyes will see eternity
Because of Bethlehem
[Chorus]
Love is born
Hope is here
Heaven's light has made
The darkness disappear
Peace on earth
Good will to men
God with us
All because of Bethlehem
