Just A Girl

I wonder if you've heard the story

Of little fame and lesser glory

The night the keeper of the inn

The little town of Bethlehem

Encountered Joseph and his Mary

About to birth the Savior of the world

His wife said go and see who's knocking

He ran down to the gate unlocked it

The moment he heard Mary's cry

He couldn't look them in the eye

Denied them and went back to bed

When his wife asked who was there

He said I don't know

Just a girl

Just a couple gypsies begging at the door

Told them we don't have room for anymore

And closed the door

It was just a girl

He tried to sleep and wasn't able

He snuck out to the dirty stable

The two had found for covering

And laid her in her suffering

The keeper knelt outside the barn

And in the light of that great star

He prayed what have I done

He's just a babe

Just minutes old there trembling in the hay

I could have found a room for them to stay

I'm so ashamed

He's just a babe

There was no robe

There was no crown

The shepherds stood

On royal ground

The keeper wept

For what he'd done

He turned away

God's own Son

Just a King

Just a million angels crowding in to see

Jesus there among humanity

Just a babe

Just minutes old there trembling in the hay

Staring at his mother in the face

She's just a girl

Just a girl

Does she even know that she just changed the world

Does she even know that He will save the world

Does Mary know that He will save the world

She's just a girl

Just a girl

Just a girl
