Lyrics Merry Christmas Mary - Paul Overstreet
Joseph
was
tired
They′d
been
traveling
all
day
And
it
was
almost
midnight
Before
he
found
a
place
to
stay
He
put
the
burro
in
the
stall
Then
knelt
beside
his
wife
To
comfort
her
As
she
went
through
The
pain
of
giving
life
And
up
above
a
star
was
shining
brightly
in
the
sky
Joseph
held
the
baby
child
And
showed
him
to
his
wife
And
he
said,
"Merry
Christmas,
Mary
Let
me
be
the
first
to
say,
Merry
Christmas,
Mary
The
son
of
God
has
come
to
us
today"
There
was
someone
at
the
door
And
Joseph
turned
to
see
Some
plain
and
simple
shepherd
men
Down
on
bended
knee
They
talked
about
an
angel
Who
told
them
where
to
come
In
the
middle
of
the
night
to
see
God's
only
son
Then
later
there
came
wisemen
Bearing
gifts
and
offerings
And
Joseph
led
them
all
to
see
And
praise
the
new
born
king
And
they
said,
"Merry
Christmas,
Mary
Let
us
be
the
first
to
say,
Merry
Christmas,
Mary
The
son
of
God
has
come
to
us
today"
Tears
of
joy
Were
gently
flowing
Out
of
Joseph′s
eyes
While
up
above
the
angels
sang
"Glory
to
God!"
Merry
Christmas,
Mary
Let
us
be
the
first
to
say,
Merry
Christmas,
Mary
The
son
of
God
has
come
to
us
today
The
son
of
God
has
come
to
us
today
