It Was There
Copyright © 2007 Van Wood
It was there in Bethlehem, in a cattle stall, where it
all began
And the
angels sang on high that first Christmas night
And the
shepherds came to see where the baby lay
In a manger
low on a bed of hay
It was there in Bethlehem
It was there in Jerusalem, by the city wall that He
talked to them
And
He brought the love of God to the path where people trod
And
He came to heal the sick along the way
And
the people heard what He had to say
It
was there in Jerusalem
It was there on a rugged hill, where Jesus died on a
rugged cross
Hanging
between two thieves; paying the penalty
Falsely
accused of the things that he did not do
He died for
me; He died for you
It was there
on a rugged hill
It was there on Easter morn, when Christ arose and
hope was born
He
conquered death and sin; came back to life again
Just
as He had said that He would do
Now He lives
for me and He lives for you
It was there
that it all came true
