[Intro - pedal-steel Guitar]

[Verse - pedal-steel Guitar]
In the stillness of the night, 
beneath a Bethlehem sky,
Three wise kings found their way, following a star so high.
With gifts of gold and myrrh, and frankincense so rare,
They came to see the holy child and offer up their prayer.
[pedal-steel Guitar riff]

[Verse 2 - pedal-steel Guitar]
A little drummer boy with a heart so pure and true,
[drum beat riff solo]
He played his drum for Jesus, nothing more he could do.
[drum beat riff solo]
With each beat of his drum, his love was clear to see,
In that humble stable, he offered melody.

[Chorus - gliding-Pedal Steel-guitar] 
Oh, a Christmas in Bethlehem, where love was born anew,
With Mary, Joseph, and angels watching from the pew.
In a small, simple manger, a miracle took place,
As the world stood in awe of that sweet baby's face.
[picking pedal-steel-guitar]

[Verse 3 pedal-steel Guitar]
Mary held her newborn, 
a mother full of grace, 
[pedal-steel Guitar riff]
Joseph stood beside her, 
in that holy place.

[Bridge pedal-steel Guitar
With shelter from the cold, 
and warmth inside their hearts
[pedal-steel Guitar riff]
They played their part in God's plan, 
a night that never parts.
[pedal-steel Guitar solo]

[verse 4 pedal-steel Guitar]
Shepherds in the field heard angels’ joyful sound,
[pedal-steel Guitar riff]
They hurried to the stable, where the new born King was found.
[Bridge pedal-steel Guitar
Their humble gifts and praises filled the air so bright,
[pedal-steel Guitar riff]
On that blessed holy eve, a wondrous, silent night.
[pedal-steel Guitar solo]

[Outro pedal-steel Guitar] 
[Chorus - gliding-Pedal Steel-guitar] 
Oh, a Christmas in Bethlehem, where love was born anew,
With Mary, Joseph, and angels watching from the pew.
In a small, simple manger, a miracle took place,
As the world stood in awe of that sweet baby's face.
