The road was dusty ruff and long

Her labour pains were getting strong

Ends were full as night closed in on them

Young Mary made it to a barn

Leaning hard on Joseph’s arm

His coat and straw would make for her a bed

That night in Bethlehem city of bread

Long promise bread of life was born

Brightest star and darkest night

Treasure at loss

The world and the bread of life

The manger and the cross

A wooden manger was his bead

A big bag of grain held his sweet head

The borrowed cave became his borrowed home

Some borrow neighbors came to see

This fragile babe eternity

Lying there in Mary’s arms awake

And did the carpenter feel the ruff wood

Was there in Mary’s heart some pain

Brightest star and darkest night

Treasure at loss

The world and the bread of life

The manger and the cross

O come and place a baby’s face

Where all heaven and her

Dance in the light

All the hopes and fears

Of all the years

Are met in you

Tonight tonight

Tender head and rugged wood

Deep as hunger’s holy food

The breathe of God comes right to where we are

That night in Bethlehem city of bread

Long promise bread of life was born

Brightest glory and darkest night

Treasure at loss

The world and the holy seed

The world and the holy seed

The manger and the cross
