Dave Barnes When Love Was Born lyrics

Was Bethlehem, as white as snow
Had you walked as far as your feet could go?
Were you scared to death so far from home?
On that winter night, when love was born

Did Mary cry in that makeshift room?
Did he take too long or come too soon?
Did you calm the one who would calm the storm?
Or did he call you, when love was born?

Was it a silent night?
Could you hear heaven sigh?
Given this gift of love

Saving you, saving us

Could you hear the angels sing?
Did you rock to sleep, the restless king?
Did you kiss the head where they placed thorns?
Did you feel that sting, when love was born?

Do you think that he knew what he came here for?
'Cause the whole world changed when love was born
