Just a Girl

I wonder if you've heard the story Of little fame and lesser glory The night, the keeper of the inn The little town of Bethlehem Encountered Joseph and his Mary About to birth the Saviour of the world His wife said, go and see who's knocking He ran down to the gate unlocked it The moment he heard Mary's cry He couldn't look them in the eye Denied them and went back to bed When his wife asked who was there He said, I don't know Just a girl Just a couple gypsies begging at the door Told them we don't have room for any more And closed the door It was just a girl He tried to sleep and wasn't able He snuck out to the dirty stable The two had found for covering And later in her suffering The keeper knelt outside the barn And in the light of that great star He prayed what have I done He's just a babe Just minutes old, they're trembling in the hay I could have found a room for them to stay I'm so ashamed He's just a babe There was no robe There was no crown The shepherds stood On royal ground The keeper wept For what he'd done He turned away God's own Son Just a King Just a million angels crowding in to see Jesus there among humanity Just a babe Just minutes old, they're trembling in the hay Staring at his mother in the face She's just a girl Just a girl Does she even know that she just changed the world Does she even know that He will save the world Does Mary know that He will save the world She's just a girl Just a girl Just a girl
