Song Lyrics


I'd Rather Be in Bethlehem Tonight
by Connie Scott

Album: Christmas in Your Heart


It's Christmas Eve
And all the late night
Christmas shoppers hurry home
The snow is gently falling
While the last bus
To the country stands alone
Sitting in the back seat
Watching faces glow
And fade in neon light
I'm going home for Christmas
But I'd rather be in Bethlehem tonight

It's Christmas Eve
And half the little children
In the town are wide awake
They want to see
If Santa Claus will come
And eat their piece of Christmas cake
Some have their suspicions
And are waiting for
A chance to prove them right
Happy in their world of dreams
But I'd rather be in Bethlehem tonight

Just to hear the angels' song
And hear the proclamation of His birth
The tidings of great joy bringing
Peace to all the people of this earth

Just to be a shepherd sent to worship
And adore the newborn King
Just to be in Bethlehem tonight
You know that I'd give anything

Taking out my Bible
Reading words I've read
So many times before
The story weaves its vision
Gently leading me
Towards a stable door
Peering in I see
A mother and her child
Under the lantern light
I'm coming home for Christmas
But I found myself in Bethlehem tonight

Oh, yes, I'm coming home for Christmas
But I found myself in Bethlehem tonight
