Jesus Christ Rivers Crossing

[MELCHIOR]
How does a virgin girl from nowhere in sight
Become a mother just by deciding to close her eyes at night
And dream that Gabriel the angel said
God wanted to surprise her
For she'd be giving birth to the Messiah

[BALTHAZAR]
A man, Joseph, who'd be the father, but not the father
Had to think hard about if he could keep on [?]
Mary cheated on him, but as he was leaving he was met in a dream
Where Gabriel told him how Mary concieved

[GASPAR]
Then Ceaser's census came
And sent Joseph and Mary away
To Judea to the town where Joseph was brought up
Arriving there was no room in the inn
For them to stay there
The mother gave birth in the barn and laid the babe in the manger

[MELCHIOR]
Then angels filled the skies over shepherds in the night
And word made it to the wise men that led it to him to find
But Herod, the king, caught wind of the baby's birth
And sent his army to wipe him off the face of the Earth
