I've heard about this baby boy... (Hallelujah!)

 I’ve heard about this baby boy 
Who’s come to earth to bring us joy, 
And I just want to sing this song to you. 
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, 
The minor fall, the major lift, 
With every breath I’m singing Hallelujah! 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
  
A couple came to Bethlehem; 
Expecting child, they searched the inn 
To find a place for You were coming soon. 
There was no room for them to stay, 
So in a manger filled with hay, 
God’s only Son was born, oh Hallelujah. 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
  
The shepherds left their flocks by night 
To see this baby wrapped in light – 
A host of angels led them all to You. 
It was just as the angels said, 
You’ll find Him in a manger bed. 
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah. 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

A star shown bright up in the east 
To Bethlehem, the wise men, three, 
Came many miles and journeyed long for You. 
And to the place at which You were 
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh, 
They gave to You and cried out, Hallelujah. 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
  
I know You came to rescue me. 
This baby would grow to be 
A man and one day die for me and you. 
My sins would drive the nails in You. 
That rugged cross was my cross, too. 
Still every breath you drew was Hallelujah.  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
