Asleep In The Hay Lyrics - Singles - Jonny Diaz

Many a man who sought to be God 

destroying the world on his way 

but only one God ever thought to be man 

He was born on Christmas day 

Many a pauper has reached for the stars 

dreaming of wealth he would own 

but the richest of all gave everything up 

as a star led the way to His home 

The world unaware that the baby was born 

none seemed to care on that first Christmas morn. 

only shepherds came running from hills far away 

to see the king of all kings 

to bow and obey 

the baby asleep in the hay 

The magi wore crowns as they carried their gifts 

to the foot of an old manger bed 

that cradled the king who would rule the whole world 

with a crown of thorns on his head 

The world unaware that the baby was born 

none seemed to care on that first Christmas morn 

only shepherds came running from hills far away 

to see the king of all kings 

to bow and obey 

the baby asleep in the hay 

Majesty, sovereignty, power and might 

in the skin of a baby that first Christmas night 

no triumphant entry as He came to this world 

just born of a scared little girl. 

The world unaware that the baby was born 

none seemed to care on that first Christmas morn. 

Only shepherds came running from hills far away 

to see the king of all kings 

to bow and obey 

the baby asleep in the hay 

the baby asleep in the hay.
