The song Christmas Eve in Bethlehem by Hannah Kerr reflects on the events that occurred on the first Christmas Eve. Hannah wonders what she would have done if she had been present during the birth of Jesus. She questions if she would have believed like the shepherds did, and if she would have let Mary and Joseph into her home if they had come knocking at her door. The chorus of the song speaks of the awe and wonder that comes with the realization of the miracle that took place that night in Bethlehem. Hannah sings of falling on her knees and singing Hallelujah at the top of her lungs, overcome by the beauty and significance of the moment. The second verse speaks of the importance of following Jesus. Hannah sings of leaving everything behind to follow Him, just as the wise men did when they saw the star that led them to the manger. The bridge of the song shifts to a message of looking forward to the day when Jesus returns to Earth. Hannah encourages listeners to not turn Him away when He comes knocking on their door and to bow before Him when that time comes. Overall, the song Christmas Eve in Bethlehem is a reflection on the wonder and awe of the first Christmas and a reminder of the importance of following Jesus and preparing for His eventual return.
