🎶 Lyrics:  Angel’s Surprise 

Copyright: Dandelion Kids  Worship

[Verse 1]
One quiet night, so still and sweet,
Mary was resting, no sound, no feet.
Suddenly bright, an angel came!
Mary looked up, he called her name.

[Chorus]
🎶 Surprise! Surprise! God has a plan!
You will have a baby, a special man!
He is God's Son, the Holy One,
His name is Jesus — God's precious Son! 🎶

[Verse 2]
Mary was scared, but she said “Yes!”
“I will obey — God’s plan is best!”
She smiled with joy, her heart so light,
God’s love had filled her heart that night.

[Chorus – repeat]
🎶 Surprise! Surprise! God has a plan!
You will have a baby, a special man!
He is God's Son, the Holy One,
His name is Jesus — God's precious Son! 🎶

[Outro – softly]
Thank You, God, for sending Your love,
A gift from Heaven, from up above.

🎄 Christmas Journey #2 – Hard Trip to Bethlehem  🎄 | A Musical Christmas Story for the Whole Family 

Mary and Joseph journey on dusty roads, trusting God's promise with each step. A gentle and determined tune of faith. 

🎄 Back Story of the Song: Christmas Journey #2 – Hard Trip to Bethlehem 

Every Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus — but sometimes we forget the long and difficult road that came before the manger.

This song was inspired by imagining the journey through the eyes of a child — how she might see Mary gently riding on a donkey, Joseph carefully guiding her, both tired and dusty, with no warm bed or hotel waiting at the end. Just stars above and faith in their hearts.

We wanted children (and families) to connect emotionally with the real challenges Mary and Joseph faced. It wasn’t easy. The road was long, the nights were cold, and their feet were sore. But what kept them going was God’s promise — and the joy that would come when Jesus was born.

Set to soft acoustic guitar and gentle flute, this song helps children understand that sometimes, love and obedience mean going through hard things — but God is always with us on the journey.

It’s a song about trust, perseverance, and hope — perfect for cozy evenings leading up to Christmas.

🎄✨ This is the 2nd song in our 10-part Christmas Journey music series — one song released each week leading up to Christmas! 

🎶 Lyrics: The Hard Trip to Bethlehem

Copyright: Dandelion Kids  Worship

Spoken softly at the beginning by the little girl:
"This is the story… when Mary and Joseph went on a long trip..."

(Verse 1)
Clip-clop, clip-clop, donkey goes,
Step by step on rocky roads.
Mary rides, Joseph walks,
Whispers gently, soft they talk.

(Chorus)
It's a hard, hard trip to Bethlehem,
But God is with them — yes, with them.
Though they’re tired and skies are gray,
God will guide them all the way.

(Verse 2)
Stars above and wind that blows,
Dusty trails and travel slow.
Holding on, they do not fear,
They know God is always near.

(Repeat Chorus)
It's a hard, hard trip to Bethlehem,
But God is with them — yes, with them.
Though they’re tired and skies are gray,
God will guide them all the way.

(Outro)
Step by step… almost there…
God’s great plan is everywhere.

Tiptoe, tiptoe, through the hay,  

I found a place where angels stay.

In the manger, soft and bright.  

We adore You, little King,  

Peace and joy is what You bring.

Everything feels calm and clear.
