It was not a silent night

There was blood on the ground

You could hear a woman cry

In the alleyway that night

On the streets of David's town

And the stable was not clean

With the tears upon her face
D Dsus D
Had no mother's hand to hold
Chorus:

It was a labor of pain

Every beat of her beautiful heart

Noble Joseph at her side

Callused hands and weary eyes

There were no midwives to be found

On the streets of David's town
D Dsus D
In the middle of the night
Bm
So he held her and he prayed
F#m
Shafts of moonlight on his face

But the baby in her womb

He was the maker of the moon

He was the Author of the faith

That could make the mountains move
