If Jesus had been born in Nazareth

.

If Jesus had been born in Nazareth

They’d prepare the way of the Lord

The in-laws would gather, take over the manor

Joseph would just be ignored

.

If Jesus had been born in Nazareth

The paths would have all been made straight

The midwife would chide, send the kids all outside

A whole village would stand by and wait

.

If Jesus had been born in Nazareth

He’d have a fine bed for his head

But while men smoked cigars in the small local bars

He was born in a stable instead

.

Jesus was not born in Nazareth

This king never needed a throne

The first thing he saw was dirty old straw

Our God was a long way from home
