The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Love Has Brought Him Here lyrics

In the crowded streets of this desert town I've heard the rumor going 'round But it doesn't seem the time or place For a Savior child to bring His grace There's too much trouble, greed and tears Who could greet Him, conscience clear? And who among us would believe Till the trumpets sound His song That the promised one has come Then a star came out and the cattle low And the street turned bright with a manger's glow I thought I heard the message clear that love has brought Him here Who are these people, peasant poor Who sit inside the stable door Where is the sense in such a choice What have we waited for Seems a King should have much more Then the star turned bright and the mother smiled At this gift of life her precious child I saw right then the message clear that love has brought Him here Then the star came out and the cattle low And the street shone bright with a manger's glow And this old world will one day know the love that's brought Him here The love that's brought Him here The love that's brought Him here
