Lyrics
Going Down to Bethlehem
© 2012 Bruce Mills (SOCAN BMI
Chorus
I'm going down to Bethlehem
I'm going to hear the angels sing
I'm going down to Bethlehem
I'm going to see the newborn king
I'm leaving today for Bethlehem
I'm just about ready to go
I'm going to worship little, baby Jesus
I'm going to tell how I love him so
CODA I'm going to worship little, baby Jesus
I'm going to tell how I love him so
I'm going to worship little, baby Jesus
I'm going to tell how I love him so
You know the story in the gospel
Talks about the saviour's birth
In a humble, lowly manger
No one could believe at first
Then the shepherds came and the wise men
Following the star of the east
Everybody there to witness
Everything the prophet preached
Chorus
The angel talked to Mary
He said the Lord has chosen you
You're going to have a holy baby
And there's nothing that you need to do
So Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem
Everything according to plan
And Jesus was born on Christmas
To take away the sins of man
