I'm sure he must have been surprised
At where this road had taken him
Cause never in a million lives
Would he have dreamed of BethlehemAnd standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel
Come to life, and Joseph saidWhy me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him, with all the rulers of the world
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But, this is such a strange way to save the worldTo think of how it could have been
If Jesus had come as He deserved
There would have been no Bethlehem
No lowly shepherds at His birthBut, Joseph knew the reason
Love had to reach so far
And as he held the Savior in his arms
He must have thoughtWhy me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him, with all the rulers of the world
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But, this is such a strange way to save the worldThis is such a strange way
Such a strange way
Yeah this is such a strange way
To save the world
