(Verse 1:) No tinsel hung in Bethlehem, no winter snow was driven Just a crying babe in a feeding trough, the greatest promise given Not born for a seasonal holiday or a date upon a page But a living breathing sacrifice entering the stage He walked the dusty roads of clay, He healed the broken blind The unique begotten Son of God, the Saviour of mankind. (Chorus) So follow the Lord in your troubles, when the darkness starts to breed And honour Him in your glory, in every word and deed For the Bible doesn't sing of Christmas trees or spring dawn Easter rites It points us to the heavy timber on the darkest of all nights The Father gave His only Son, the ultimate price was paid The ultimate love was displayed, for every sin we made. (Verse 2:) For hundreds of years the shovels dug through ancient desert sands Unearthing myths and histories written by mortal hands They found the scrolls in hidden caves, the fragments in the clay Dead Sea Scrolls Distinguishing the folklore from the truth that lives today Man built up traditions, the calendar was spun But archaeology confirms the footsteps of the Son. (Chorus) So follow the Lord in your troubles, when the darkness starts to breed And honour Him in your glory, in every word and deed For the Bible doesn't sing of Christmas trees or spring dawn Easter rites It points us to the heavy timber on the darkest of all nights The Father gave His only Son, the ultimate price was paid The ultimate love was displayed, for every sin we made. (Bridge:) The Creator watched His child bleed upon that cruel wood Allowing hands of wicked men to do what no one should The sky turned black as midnight as the spotless Lamb was slain A Father's heart was broken to break our heavy chain No greater love has ever lived, no greater tear was shed When God gave up His Jesus to the kingdom of the dead. (Outro) Forget the worldly festivals, look to the empty grave Remember the crucifixion and the souls He came to save Follow Him through the valley, praise Him on the peak His sacrifice is the only truth we seek. Honour Him in your glory. Follow Him in your troubles.
