Out in the stable yard
She sees a glow
Could it be angel light?
How would she know?
Shepherds stand wondering
Afraid to come in 
But the baby that's born tonight
Will free them all 
To never fear again
As He lies in a cattle trough
She kneels by His side
Sweet baby breathing
Soft infant sighs
Soft sounds of swallowing
As soft fingers part
Marvelous memories 
She pondered then and hid them in her heart
Like a good
Mother would
Sh learned His cries
If He'd awake 
With a bellyache
From hunger or fright
But now and then
Sometimes when
The dark would descend
He would weep
A dark so deep
For all her love 
She couldn't comprehend
(repeat)
Her warm loving carpenter
His strong gentle hands
His dark and bewildered eyes
Can they understand?
That this Baby she's given him
Is theirs for a time
In truth came to give Himself
The Treasure and the 
Ransom of mankind
