I am a man, forgotten
No one recalls my name
Thousands of years will fail to fully erase my shame
But I turned a profit nicely, the day that I turned the couple away
I turned them away
I didn't sleep, that evening
Though, I'd sold out my place
Somehow, I felt uneasy, something about her face
Why did I wish that I'd let them stay?
I didn't think they could pay
How could they have paid?
Restless, I left my bedroom, I walked the streets, all night
Lost in the world I lived in, found by Heavenly light
Staring at one bright star in the sky, I heard a baby crying
And I knew where the cry had come from
'Cause, I'd told them where they could go
But I didn't think I could face them, and so, I walked slowly, home
Missing my chance to share in their joy
I never saw the boy
He never would condemn me
I did that all, on my own
He offered His forgiveness
And ever since then, I've known, He lets us choose each hour of each day
If we'll let Him in, to stay
Let Him in
Let Him in
Let the peace on Earth, begin (ooh)
Let Him in
Let Him in
Let the hope, and joy, begin (ooh)
And whether it be in your world, today (ooh)
Or a crowded Bethlehem Inn, find a way (find a way)
Make Him room (make Him room)
Let Him in
Let Him in (let Him in)
Let the hope, and joy, begin (it's beginning)
Let Him in (let Him in)
Let Him in (let Him in)
Let the peace on earth, begin (it's beginning)
Let Him in (let Him in)
Let Him in (let Him in)
Let Him in
Let Him in (let Him in)
