A Strange Way to Save the World - Michael Crawford

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 alive

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

This is such a strange way

Such a strange way

A strange way

To save the world
