If I Had Been in Bethlehem
If I had been in Bethlehem the night of Jesus' birth
And heard afar the angels' joyful song of peace on earth
If I had seen the shepherds come to seek the baby fair
I think I would have followed them, and knelt beside them there
If I had lived in eastern lands and watched with eager eyes
If I had seen His star appear and blaze among the skies
If I had seen the wise men go to seek the newborn King
I think I would have followed them, my finest gifts to bring
I did not live in Bethlehem that Christmas night of old
Or travel with the wise men there, to bring Him gifts of gold
But I can give a greater gift than any earthly gem
For all my heart and all my love will be my gift to Him.
And heard afar the angels' joyful song of peace on earth
If I had seen the shepherds come to seek the baby fair
I think I would have followed them, and knelt beside them there
If I had lived in eastern lands and watched with eager eyes
If I had seen His star appear and blaze among the skies
If I had seen the wise men go to seek the newborn King
I think I would have followed them, my finest gifts to bring
I did not live in Bethlehem that Christmas night of old
Or travel with the wise men there, to bring Him gifts of gold
But I can give a greater gift than any earthly gem
For all my heart and all my love will be my gift to Him.
