A Strange Way To Save The World

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 Bethlehem
And standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel come to life
And Joseph said...

Why me (why me), I'm just a simple man of trade?
Why Him with all the rulers in the world? (rulers in the world)
Why here (why here) inside this stable filled with hay?
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl (ordinary girl)
Now, I'm not one to second guess what angel's have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the world

To 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 birth
But Joseph knew the reason
The love had to reach so far
And as he held the Savior in his arms
He must have thought...

Why me (why me), I'm just a simple man of trade?
Why Him with all the rulers in the world? (rulers in the world)
Why here (why here) inside this stable filled with hay?
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl (ordinary girl)
Now, I'm not one to second guess what angel's have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the world

Now, I'm not one to second guess what angel's have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the world

This is such a strange way (strange way), such a strange way
Such a strange way to save the world
