Amy Savin — Joy of the World lyrics

Lyrics

Vs.1
The shepherds watched their flocks by night,
One was falling asleep, one was counting the sheep to pass time.
The night was silent, the air was still and just down the road a father was ill
from the worries Of this life, from the worries of this life.
Oh Bethlehem, what you’re looking for is not made by your hands.
Who can hold the weight of your restless heart?
Only Jesus can.
He’s the Joy of the world
The joy of the world
Oh your God has not left you
He now lives among you
He took on flesh
He’s the joy of the world
The joy of the world
All your daily cares, all your mundane tasks will not be too much for the
Saviour’s back
He was born today
And not far away,
Lies the Joy of the world

She couldn’t sleep, the bride to be was anxiously waiting for her special day
Only 16 years old, not ready yet to leave her home
Her brother in the room beside her, his eyes getting wider, the sounds of a
choir were ringing from the sky: «Could it be the angels tonight?»
Oh Bethlehem, what you’re looking for is not made by your hands.
Who can hold the weight of your restless heart?
Only Jesus can
Bridge: Let heaven and nature sing. Let heaven and nature sing. Let Heaven,
let heaven and nature sing (X2)
Oh Bethlehem what you’re looking for lies in your own town
Oh Bethlehem when the Son come up will it change you now?
