Such a Strange Way

In the forgotten little town of Bethlehem.

In a dirty stable or lean-to or cave.

It was a simple birth.

To a simple, obedient couple.

The Savior of the World arrived among us.

Emmanuel.

"Such a strange way to save the world."

The title of a modern Christmas classic that I've come to love.

Lyrics are below.

As you read them, consider the faith of Joseph thru this process.  What a man of integrity.

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt

STRANGE WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD

(David Allen Clark, Donald A. Koch, Mark R. Harris)

I'm sure he must have been surprised

At where this road had taken him

Cause never in a million lives

Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem

And standing at the manger

He saw with his own eyes

The message from the angel come to life

And Joseph said

Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade

Why Him with all the rulers in the world

Why here inside this stable filled with hay

Why her, she's just an ordinary girl

Now I'm not one to second guess

What angels have to say

But this is such a strange way to save the World

To think of how it could have been

If Jesus had come as He deserved

There would have been no Bethlehem

No lowly shepherds at His birth

But Joseph knew the

Reason love had to reach so far

And as he held the Savior in his arms

He must have thought

Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade

Why Him with all the rulers in the world

Why here inside this stable filled with hay

Why her, she's just an ordinary girl

Now I'm not one to second guess

What angels have to say

But this is such a strange way to save the World

Now, I'm not one to second guess

What angels have to say

But this is such a strange

Way to save the world

Such a strange way, this is

Such a strange way

A strange way to save the world

A strange way to save the world
