In Bethlehem (Narrative)

Now we are in the city of Bethlehem

At the door of the Church of the Nativity where Christ was born

The gate has been walled up then enters into the church

Because of the horsemen that used to come attack the place and sack the church

It's been walled up to where there's just a very narrow opening of about

Three and a half feet where you enter into the Church of Nativity

So now we enter into the place where Christ was born

This is the place where Christ was born to the world over it's a mighty big place

Actually physically it's a small cave underneath the Church of the Nativity

Many other people are here today to see this place

Before me is the actual spot where Christ was born undisputed to the ages

This place was found and confirmed that it was the place of the Nativity

By St Helene, Mother of Constantine, the Emperor of Rome

In the third and the fourth century

Just a few feet away from this place where Christ was born

Where there is a Star of Bethlehem in the manger

Where he was taken wrapped in swaddling clothes

Meaning loose-fitting clothes laid in the manger

Where he was come and visited at this very spot by the three Wisemen from the east

One of the holiest of holy places

In the Christian tradition the Holy Family retreated here

During the massacre of the holy innocence ordered by King Herod

And just as we left the Church of the Nativity a few minutes ago

We saw another cave where so many of the children

That King Herod had killed under two years old were buried
