Words and music by Rob Frazier



Hold that blanket closer Mary dear 

All the world waits with you for your day 

But for now the wind is cold and it's drear 

And Bethlehem's still so far away 

Do you remember the way you felt back then? 

Joy and wonder filled your soul and when 

The angel slipped away 

You knew your life would never be the same 



(Chorus) 

And now you're travelling, travelling on a road to Bethlehem 

Wandering thoughts fly away 

If you knew the road that lay ahead of Him 

Would you break down and cry? 

Your child is born to die 



Feel that hand of strength upon your own 

A husband's love that guides along the way 

And as his understanding has grown, 

His hopes too are centered on that day 

For do you remember the way he looked back then, 

Pain and sorrow filled his eyes until when 

The angel came to say 

The Savior's birth was meant to be this way 



Think back on that promise you receieved 

For him in whom the prophets long believed 

Now belongs to you, you've been chosen too 

But He's the One Who's gonna shine 

We call His name Jesus, Immanuel 

He'll save His people from sin and hell 

And of His kingdom there will be no end
