- From Andrew Peterson's album "Behold The Lamb of God: the True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ."
- This is more of a "Christmas-y" kind of album, but still has beautiful music and meaningful music with just as powerful lyrics as any other song/album Peterson has.
- Note: This is NOT the 10th anniversary/special edition Andrew Peterson has; this is the first/original album.
*Note: This is just the audio with the image from the album. This is no fancy video nor a music video. Lyrics below.
"Labor of Love"
It was not a silent night
There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry
In the alleyways that night
On the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean
And the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
Had no mother's hand to hold
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph at her side
Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found
In the streets of David's town
In the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb
He was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the faith
That could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love

I bought this soundtrack as soon as I saw the movie in the theaters. I love this song. It is the real price everyone went through the nightly LORD and Savior was born. We sometimes romanticize that night, but it was rough on Joseph and Mary. God bless all of you.
Jesus Saves
This, IMO, is an almost perfect song and presentation. Probably my favorite Christmas song of the past decade. I love the completely unhurried playing of the acoustic guitar and piano...so understated, but perfect, as if every note was pondered and prayed over before the artists dared lay a finger on the string or key to pluck or press. In the veritable tidal wave of commercialized, glitzy performance driven music, even from Christian artists, the solemn, thoughtful yet tender presentation of these profound texts stands almost alone.
Jesus’ incarnation is so important
This is such an amazing song. I've always hated how inaccurate silent night was and this one really does well against the silent night.
truly an amazing song
I love it i heard this song at Christmas eve service. At my church.
Sometimes it is hard not to think of the Bible as just a story. I mean we do tend to think of it as a "silent night", we like to paint what we want to see over what we don't want to see...
bornagain2day I totally agree. Even as Christians, we gloss over this.
Favorite version (it’s the original from the first BTLOG album). Great song.
Kathy H. Beautiful song, first time I've heard it, very good.
God receives this time of fullness as my love for you
I love this song!
i agree with bornagain2day. We like to think it as a silent night but it obveously was not and this song explains it

Beautiful Song !!! Uwu
Amen
❤
I think it might be nice to have another verse talking about Jesus' labor of love, since he's the main point?
He is the main point, absolutely. However, this song is just a chapter within the full story of Jesus' birth. In fact, this album ends with his birth. I think it is a beautiful way to tell the big picture story of why Jesus came!
I say amen to that@@sarahacurry
so much better than the borderline gnostic, heretical tripe of Silent Night
borderline gnostic, heretical? Do tell
Oh woof woof I'm a dog
