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 the answer
The shepherds found the lamb
And I found my Immanuel
Because of Bethlehem

Love is b[G]orn
Hope is h[D]ere

Peace on e[G]arth

All beca[A]use of Bet[D]hlehem

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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
The weight of all our sin (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
He took the fall and it happened all (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Because of Bethlehem (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

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
God with us
All because of Bethlehem
