Lyrics
How does a virgin girl from nowhere in sight Become a mother just by deciding to close her eyes at night And dream that Gabriel the angel said God wanted to surprise her For she'd be giving birth to the Messiah A man, Joseph, who'd be the father, but not the father Had to think hard about if he could keep on [?] Mary cheated on him, but as he was leaving he was met in a dream Where Gabriel told him how Mary concieved Then Ceaser's census came And sent Joseph and Mary away To Judea to the town where Joseph was brought up Arriving there was no room in the inn For them to stay there The mother gave birth in the barn with the babe in the manger Then angels filled the skies over shepherds in the night And word made it to the wise men that led it to him But Herod, the king, caught wind of the baby's birth And sent his army to wipe him off the face of the Earth The magi helped Joseph and Mary escape the genocide Took the baby west off to Egypt 'til King Herod died All of this was orchestrated for him to be saved So the world could know his name What's your name? Jesus Christ of Nazareth My name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth I will show you all why I have come But just you wait, just you wait He grew up [?] signs and wonders And proclaimed the truth But he was rejected by the teachers of religious law Sentenced to be murdered By the very hands of those he came to save But in three days he'll step out of the grave Just you wait Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Jesus Christ of Nazareth) Jesus Christ of Nazareth We are waiting in the dark for you (Waiting in the dark for you) When heaven came down and marked the very turn of time Ohh, Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Jesus Christ of Nazareth) All around [?] for you Our hope is in your name Into the world you came The world will never be the same Ohh, Jesus Christ of Nazareth
