Not That Far From Bethlehem

Words & music by jeff borders, gayla borders, lowell alexander



Underneath the stars

Just a simple man and wife

Somewhere in the dark

His words cut the silent night

Take my hand, for the child

That you carry is god's own

And though it seems the road is long



(chorus)

We're not that far from bethlehem

Here all our hope and joy begins

For in our arms we'll cherish him

We're not that far, not that far from bethlehem



Let us celebrate

As the christmases go by

Learn to live our days

With our hearts near to the child

Ever drawn, ever close

To the only love that lasts

And though 2000 years have passed



(2nd chorus)

We're not that far from bethlehem

Where all our hope and joy began

For when our hearts still cherish him

We're not that far, not that far from bethlehem
