Story behind the song
When Jesus and Mary went to Bethlehem to register for taxation, they could find no place to stay, so they took shelter in a stable where Jesus was born.
Lyrics
THE SAVIOUR OF MAN WAS BORN
Verse 1
A woman and a man, came to Bethlehem
Tried to find a place to stay
The innkeeper said, I can offer no bed
Only a barn full of hay
Verse 2
So out in the stable, a manger for a cradle
While cattle looked on that morn
While angels did sing, their welcome to our King
The Saviour of man was born
CHORUS
The saviour of man was born
Let the whole world rejoice
Through his birth this blessed morn
Man is given a true choice Through the birth of this Saviour
All mankind can be saved
Through his birth and resurrection
Man is rescued from the grave
Verse 3
The shepherds from the field, they came there to kneel
And told what the angels said
About peace and joy, through this baby boy
Who lay on that humble bed
Verse 4
The Wise men from afar, came following a star
Led them to where He lay
Their gifts they did bring, to honour our new King
The Saviour of man some day. REPEAT CHORUS (C)Everett Adams(NEWSFLASH SOUNDS) 1987
