Lyrics

In Bethlehem a manger waits
Long ago and so today
Where hatred-weary people pray
Love will come and lay there
And so do countless stables stand
In hearts as harsh as desert lands
Rough shelters in the wind and sand
So love will come and stay there
Love that opens fists of hate
Heaps up gold on beggars' plates
Love that shows a kindly face
To enemies and strangers
And the walls of stables tremble so
When the winds of fear and judgment blow
For a stable hopes in love alone
And knows that love's the answer
O love, the prophets' only word
The only lesson left to learn
The only end of heaven's work
And the only road that goes there
Love that sees with mercy's eyes
Holds its arms out open wide
Threads its loom with separate lives
And weaves them all together
So may the lamps of stables glow
Brightly that their light may burn
For miles in the darkness so
Love will find its way there
