Forever And A Day
Born in a Barn
Copyright 2006.
This is a rather unique way of looking at the humble birth of our Lord and Savior.
Because He was born in these humble conditions, we can learn several things about Him:
That, unlike kings born in a castle with a silver bathtub and a 'silver spoon in their mouths', THIS king understands
the plight of the poor, the common people, and therefore He gives us comfort, knowing that He can relate to the
struggles we face in the common everyday world.
That, unlike other kings, the world itself was unprepared to make room for this King of Glory. Each of us must make
Room in our Hearts for Him. Have YOU done so?

Lyrics
Verse 1:
If I've heard it once I've heard it
At least a thousand times:
'Son, were you born in a barn?'
'Shut the door, you'll let the bugs in!'
'Shut the door, you'll let the heat in!'
'Tell me son, were you born in a barn?'
Chorus:
But my King was born in a barn!
And I'm so very glad that He was!
For a common man like me
Had a chance to be set free!
Yes, my King was born in a barn!
And my King left the door open wide
For any bug that wants to come inside
Yes, my Jesus paved the way
to enter heaven one day!
Yes my King left the door open wide!
Verse 2:
Well, I've got to laugh, 'cause I catch myself
Saying the same old thing!
'What goes around comes around,' they say...
ALL my kids let the bugs in
ALL my kids let the heat in
And to make them stop is really still OK.
Chorus (twice):
