I'm sure you must have been surprised
At where this road had taken him
Cause never in a million lives
Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem
And standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel come to life
And Joseph said,
Why?
I'm just a simple man of trade
Why him?
With all the rulers in the world
Why here?
Inside this stable filled with hay
Why her?
She's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one of them

And no one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way
To save the world
Just think of how it could have been
If Jesus had come, was he deserved?
If Jesus had come, was he deserved?
There was a way to save the world
There would have been no Bethlehem, no lowly shepherds at his birth.
But Joseph knew the reason love had to reach so far.
And as he held the Savior in his arms, he must have thought,
Why me? I'm just a simple man of trade.
Why him, with all the rulers in the world?
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay?
Why her? She's just an ordinary girl.
Why me? I'm just a simple man of trade.
Now I'm not one to second guess what angels have to say.
This is such a strange way to save the world.
This is such a strange way, ooh, such a strange way.
Yeah, this is such a strange way.
To save the world.
Ooh.
To save the world.
