So Joseph and Mary set off for Bethlehem
stopping for a rest every now and then.
They stopped at night and travelled all day
but when they arrived there was nowhere to stay.

Well that was a surprise,
that's a surprise.
We have a wonderful God of surprises

They arrived at their uncles feeling stressed
"come on in Mary, come and have a rest".
The house was crowded the house was packed
so they stayed with the animals and that's a fact.

Well that was a surprise,
that's a surprise.
We have a wonderful God of surprises

Joseph wrapped Mary in his nice warm coat
and they both lay down next to the goat.
The angels were excited they gave a cheer
they sang for joy God is near.

Well that was a surprise,
that's a surprise.
We have a wonderful God of surprises

Shout the Good News, come and see
Jesus is born for you and me.
