The Shelter by Tractors
The Shelter lyrics
There�s snow on the ground
And no rooms in town
Nowhere for spendin� the night
Except and old shed
With hay for a bed
And Mary she says that�s all right
Joseph don�t like it
His Mary�s with child
What if this is the night she gives birth
But when he has nothin�
A man comes to see
Just how much a little is worth
The trip�s been a hard one
They crossed the courtyard
To a barn at the back of the Inn
They lay down to sleep
Among cattle and sheep
And wait for this night to begin
Now she sees he�s worried
With love in her eyes...
She reaches out and touches his face
She says a barn is a mansion
If its walls shelter love
For some reason God has chosen this place
The baby�s arrival
Fills up the night
And the light from a beautiful star
Lights up the darkness
So gloriously bright
And shines down on the world near and far
And directly below it
As if on a string
This shelter of such humble design
Givin� warmth and protection
To the child Jesus Christ
Our Lord and Savior, King of mankind
