I'm sure he must have been surprised

At where this road had taken him

'Cause never in a million lives

Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem

And standing at the manger

He saw with his own eyes

The message from the angel come to life

And Joseph said...



Why me (why me), I'm just a simple man of trade?

Why Him with all the rulers in the world? (rulers in the world)

Why here (why here) inside this stable filled with hay?

Why her, she's just an ordinary girl (ordinary girl)

Now, I'm not one to second guess what angel's have to say

But this is such a strange way to save the world



To think of how it could have been

If Jesus had come as He deserved

There would have been no Bethlehem

No lowly shepherds at His birth

But Joseph knew the reason

The love had to reach so far

And as he held the Savior in his arms

He must have thought...

This is such a strange way (strange way), such a strange way
