Mary Had a Baby

Can you hear the whispers
Turn to conversations
Are they spreading rumors
Will there be accusations
Somewhere down in Bethlehem
A girl who never knew a man
Came to meet the Holy Ghost
And she brought forth the Lord of Hosts

Mary had a baby
(Jesus)
In a stable down in Bethlehem
(In a stable down in Bethlehem)
Hope was in a manger
(Oh, yeah)
He's the Son of God and Son of man
(The Great I Am)
While the word was crying save me
Mary had a baby, ooh...

There's something in the air now
It's a new sensation
Peace and joy and laughter
A Holy celebration
God with us, Emmanuel
Counselor, no tongue can tell
More than just a baby king
Now this changes everything

'Cause Mary had a baby
(Jesus)
In a stable down in Bethlehem
(In a stable down in Bethlehem)
Hope was in a manger
(Oh, yeah)
He's the Son of God and Son of man
(The Great I Am)
While the word was crying save me
Mary had a baby

Everybody sing
Joy to the world
For the Lord, the Lord is come
Everybody sing
Joy to the world
For the Lord, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...
