Bethlehem Dawn

The sunrise was beautiful this morning
but somehow it seemed that everything was darker
then the sky we had seen just a few hours ago,
as the angels sang a song of joy.

Chorus
Not even the Bethlehem dawn
could compare to the light it revealed,
Not even the Bethlehem sun
that unveiled the son of God
sleeping in a cattle stall,
the almighty God humbled to save us all,
Not even the Bethlehem dawn.

The cry of a baby shatters the silence,
Can you believe that same voice makes my heart beat?
And the tears in his eyes, and in his mother's and father's,
are tears for all mankind.

[Chorus]

This little baby is crying my tears for me,
This little baby is bathing in my shame,
This little baby is giving up his glory to take my place,
to light the way.

Not even the Bethlehem dawn
could compare to the light it revealed
Not the Jerusalem sun
That unveiled the son of God
Hanging on a cross,
The almighty God dying to save the lost
Can you believe what he sacrificed for me?
On that Bethlehem dawn.
