Out here is the country there's magic in the air.

It's the middle of december there's excitement eveywhere



Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned

The gift is just what's in your heart and not what's in your hand



Chorus:

Who's the one we need to thanks

Who's the party for

Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy

Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy

Preacher said last sunday it was joesph and mary's boy



There were times we didn't think we'd make it through the year

The bankers tried to take our farms but somehow we're still here



I don't know how the crops survived the drought and then the rain

It must have been a miracle how else could you explain



Chorus



The christ child born in bethlehem

He was joesph and mary's boy
