Andrew Peterson, Andy Gullahorn - It Came to Pass lyrics

Well, it came to pass back
In those days that Caesar, he decreed
A census should be taken of the Roman world
You see so everyone packed up and headed
Back to their hometown
And Joseph, up from Galilee
To Bethlehem was bound

And it came to pass this man
Named Joe was with his fiance
When her pregnancy began to show
He planned to go away
But it came to pass that in a dream
An angel of the Lord said, "Joseph
Don't you be afraid to marry Mary for
The little baby in her womb
It is the Holy Spirit's work
Wеll, you may have read the prophеt
Said 'the virgin would give birth'"

So it came to pass that Joseph
Was the noblest of men
With a woman on a donkey
On their way to Bethlehem
And I wonder whether either was
Aware enough that day
To know the child would bring a Kingdom
And the old would come to pass away

Yes, it came to pass that Joseph
Was the noblest of men
With a woman on a donkey
On their way to Bethlehem
