McGraw, Tim - Mary And Joseph Lyrics
Mary was the first of three
Long black hair and sugar sweet
Daddy's eyes and Momma's crooked smile
She was barely seventeen
Planned to stay in this city for a while
For a while
Joseph ran a lumber yard
About a mile from Olive park
Quiet boy, he never had much to say
It was love right from the start
He bought a ring and won Mary's heart
Had hopes for a home and kids someday
The angel scared her half to death
She would've screamed but she lost her breath
On a midnight there in the middle of May
He said "Oh Mary, don't be afraid
You'll bear a son that the Lord has made
Call him Jesus, He'll light the way"
She packed the clothes, he made the plans
They had to go to Bethlehem
But there was nowhere left to stay
So in a barn she gave birth
To the King of Kings, the Lord of Earth
Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay
Sleeping on the hay
The story's too long to tell
But He walked on water and lived through hell
Killed on a cross and rose from the grave
We got a King, they got a Son
Mary and Joseph were the only ones
There on that very first Christmas day
There on that very first Christmas day

Mary and Joseph
Tim McGraw
Mary was the first of three
Long black hair and sugar sweet
Daddy's eyes and Momma's crooked smile
She was barely seventeen
Got a job keepin' dishes clean
Planned to stay in this city for a while
For a while
Joseph ran a lumber yard
About a mile from Olive park
Quiet boy, he never had much to say
It was love right from the start
He bought a ring and won Mary's heart
Had hopes for a home and kids someday
Kids someday
The angel scared her half to death
She would've screamed but she lost her breath
On a midnight there in the middle of May
He said "Oh Mary, don't be afraid
You'll bear a son that the Lord has made
Name him Jesus, He'll light the way"
She packed the clothes, he made the plans
They had to go to Bethlehem
But there was nowhere left to stay
So in a barn she gave birth
To the King of Kings, the Lord of Earth
Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay
Sleeping on the hay
The story's too long to tell
But He walked on water and lived through hell
Killed on a cross and rose from the grave
We got a King, they got a Son
Mary and Joseph were the only ones
There on that very first Christmas day
There on that very first Christmas day
Mary and Joseph

Love Tim MCGraw telling the Christmas story .. Love his singing
I love Tim's singing!! He does a wonderful job in this song of telling the Christmas Story.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I enjoyed making this video very much. The Nativity Story has many great illustrations that can be used to put visuals to songs. When I hear a song I also see it. This video was what I saw in my mind. I hope you all have a blessed new year!
Thank you Denise for sharing this. I pinned it on Pinterest, I thought it was so pretty. Merry Christmas to you & your family 🎄
You are so welcome, Susie! Thank you for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas to you and your family also. I hope it was beautiful!
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the work! Be ready in season and out of season, Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching.
I love these Christmas corals
My teacher plays this song in the morning.... It's very touching. Great video!
Stormy Hill what a great teacher
Great song... this one was actually written by Dave Barnes, that same guy who wrote Blake Shelton's God Gave Me You (though he's not a country artist, go figure). This is Tim's interpretation of it, which it fantastic.
Beautiful!
Thank you KingCarl77! I should have said Tim McGraw's performance. Never occurred to me to check who wrote it. Thanks for the info. Merry Christmas!
Ooooh!! Wonderful song - Wonderful Saviour - God Jesus Christ !!

"Christ died for our sins -according to the scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Cor.15: 1-4
