(Oh, carry her safe to Bethlehem) (Little gray donkey, tonight) (A miracle rests on your four small feet) (Little gray donkey, tonight)
You know, after six days of creating the world The Lord has surely earned His seventh day of rest For instance, take the day He created the animals Just as He was about finished, He picked up one more piece of clay After shaping it to His liking, He added a pinch of courage, a dab of humility, six grains of faithfulness This one He made just a little bit ugly But He gave it a big handful of solemn wisdom Gave it a little pat, and sent it on its way
And then, upon a winter's day, and in the long ago The dusty road to Bethlehem was trod by many feet And in that throng, a donkey walked, a donkey small and gray As donkeys plod their donkey days, in cold, or rain, or heat No hand reached out to touch him as he went his donkey way No scribe set down his donkey name for men unborn to say
No eye could see a radiance about this lowly one Who plodded on to Bethlehem, with Mary, and God's Son
(Oh, carry her safe to Bethlehem) Little gray donkey, tonight (A miracle rests on your four small feet) Little gray donkey, tonight
All Heaven is watching your mission divine And, over a stable, a star waits to shine While shepherds and wise men all look for the sign Little gray donkey, tonight
A king will come, the prophets cried A king will come, like no king has come before On noble steed, with golden crown and silver trumpet-call
But on that silent, holy night There was no pomp, no pride, in Bethlehem The child-king came to Bethlehem upon a donkey small A donkey old, and tired, and gray With long and drooping ears And no one dreamed he brought our world The light of after-years
A donkey plodding through the dust To see God's will was done And, bearing on his rugged back, the Virgin And God's Son
(Oh, carry her safe to Bethlehem) Little gray donkey, tonight (A miracle rests on your four small feet) Little gray donkey, tonight
All Heaven is watching your mission divine And, over a stable, a star waits to shine While shepherds and wise men all look for the sign (Little gray donkey) Blessed little donkey God's little donkey, tonightTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
