Asleep In The Hay - Jonny Diaz

Many a man has sought to be God

Destroying the world on his way

But only one God ever thought to be man

And he was born on Christmas day

Many a pauper has reached for the stars

Dreaming of wealth he would own

But the richest of all gave everything up

As a star led the way to His home

The world unaware that the baby was born

None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn

Only shepherds came running from hills far away

To see the king of all kings

To bow and obey

The baby asleep in the hay

The magi wore crowns as they carried their gifts

To the foot of an old manger bed

That cradled the king who would rule the whole world

With a crown of thorns on his head

The world unaware that the baby was born

None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn

Only shepherds came running from hills far away

To see the king of all kings

To bow and obey

The baby asleep in the hay

Majesty, sovereignty, power and might

In the skin of a baby that first Christmas night

No triumphal entry as He came to this world

Just born of a scared little girl

The world unaware that the baby was born

None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn

Only shepherds came running from hills far away

To see the king of all kings

To bow and obey

The baby asleep in the hay

The baby asleep in the hay
