Christmas: My Heart Your Bethlehem

Audio

Lyrics

Will You have a place to lay Your head
on the night of Your holy birth?
A crown or a robe of royal thread
as Your life begins on earth?
Though some will not receive You,
or know just who You are,
I will prepare a place for You:
a home within my heart.

I'll make my heart Your Bethlehem,
where You O Lord, can enter in;
Shine Your light, let Your life in me begin;
and make my heart (and make my heart) Your Bethlehem.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
be born in us today!
Though some will not believe
You are the Saviour born for them,
I will prepare a place for you:
my heart, Your Bethlehem.

How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heav'n.
Though some will not receive You,
or know just who You are,
I will prepare a place for You,
a home within my heart.

I'll make my heart Your Bethlehem,
where You O Lord, can enter in;
Shine Your light, let Your life in me begin;
and make my heart (and make my heart) Your Bethlehem;
and make my heart Your Bethlehem.
