ApologetiX - Christ in the Stable lyrics

Parody of "Cat's in the Cradle" performed by Harry Chapin and written by Harry & Sandy Chapin (Matthew 1:18-2:23, Luke 2:1-20) Our child arrived just the other day He came to the world as the Truth and the Way But they were trained to catch and k** the babe We learned to watch out and run away But He was born before they knew it or had a clue I said, my son will be like You, God I know He's gonna be like You And the Christ's in the stable Cause they filled the rooms Little boy, who are You? Man, if they knew! When they gonna know that? I don't know when But we'll get to Heaven then You know we'll have a good time then Our son went to temple the other day I said, Thanks for the boy, God -- His mom just prayed Then two people who showed up had a lot to say And they were prophets, too, I said that's so strange And they walked away, but they smiled as they did, I said My goodness, they liked Him, yeah You know, they really seemed to like Him And the Christ in the stable Will fulfill them soon Little boy, who are You? Man, if they knew! When they gonna know that? I don't know when But we'll get to Heaven then You know we'll have a good time then Well, they came a-callin' just the other day Such nice wise men, I just had to say Wondered how they knew and brought gifts for the child Just look, they said, overhead, with a smile Well, it's really quite rad but we followed the star's beams To see the leader that its advent means And the Christ in the stable Will fulfill them soon Little boy, who are You? Man, if they knew! When they gonna know, Son? I don't know when But we'll get to Heaven then, yeah I know we'll have a good time then My lungs seem so tired, my son's come of age I call Him "son" for His mother's sake I said, I'd like to see You fulfill those signs Except my health's too bad Look like it's time to die You see, I knew God could handle anything You'll go through But it's sure nice watchin' Him do that It's been sure nice adoptin' You too And as I run up to go into eternity Jehovah, yes, I see My boy looks just like Thee And the Christ in the stable Will be k**ed real soon Little boy, who are You? Man, if they knew! When they gonna know the Son? I don't know when But they'll get to Heaven then, yeah They're gonna have a good time then
