Hold that blanket closer Mary dear 
All the world waits with you for your day 
But for now the wind is cold and it's drear 
And Bethlehem's still so far away 
Do you remember the way you felt back then? 
Joy and wonder filled your soul and when 
The angel slipped away 
You knew your life would never be the same 

[Chorus]
And now you're traveling, traveling on a road to Bethlehem 
Wandering thoughts fly away 
If you knew the road that lay ahead of Him 
Would you break down and cry? 
Your child is born to die 

Feel that hand of strength upon your own 
A husband's love that guides along the way 
And as his understanding has grown, 
His hopes too are centered on that day 
For do you remember the way he looked back then, 
Pain and sorrow filled his eyes until when 
The angel came to say 
The Savior's birth was meant to be this way 

Think back on that promise you received 
For him in whom the prophets long believed 
Now belongs to you, you've been chosen too 
But He's the One Who's gonna shine 
We call His name Jesus, Emmanuel 
He'll save His people from sin and hell 
And of His kingdom there will be no end
