Down in Bethlehem
There's a rumor going round with some shepherds
And the wise men say that it's true
That a virgin conceiving
A plan God was weaving
To bring salvation to me and you
Now they tell me an angel foretold it
That a prophecy was coming to man
All I know is something's going on
Down in Bethlehem
Oh, there's something going on down in Bethlehem
A baby came to save the world
They say he's the son of the great I AM
And he's got the whole town in whirl
Well, I heard he started building a kingdom
From a manger I don't understand
But there's something going on
Down in Bethlehem
Now just take some time to imagine
If all of what they're saying is fact
That his mother had stopped to deliver
On a journey to be taxed
Now they're calling him the promised messiah
And they say he has the name above names
When I heard that it was Jesus
Something inside of me changed
Oh, there's something going on down in Bethlehem
A baby came to save the world
They say he's the son of the great I AM
And he's got the whole town in whirl
Well, they say he started building a kingdom
From a manger I don't understand
But there's something going on
Down in Bethlehem
Oh, there's something going on down in Bethlehem
