Bethlehem Within

So long it seems we’ve had to wait
For our hearts to be Bethlehem,
But He’s on time and never late
As Bethlehem He brings within.

He’s born again in each of us
With Mary as our Mother too;
She teaches us to Jesus trust
With new life fresh as morning dew.

With Bethlehem within we’ll grow
To die and rise with Jesus here,
And resurrected life we’ll know
As Bethlehem removes all fear.

Then we’ll discover in the end
That Bethlehem now lives above;
There’s always room within the inn
Where we’ll live in undying love.
