Thank you Ben for reminding me of this beautiful song. Although I'm not quite sure it'd fit at the point in our service we are looking to fill, it is so lovely I've typed it up for others to enjoy...
How could it be
This baby in my arms
Sleeping now so peacefully
The Son of God the angel said,
How could it be?
Lord, I know he's not my son
Not of my flesh, not of my bones
Still father let this baby be
The son of my love.
Father show we where I fit into
This plan of yours
How can a man be father to the Son of God?
Lord for all my life I've been a simple carpenter
How can I raise a king?
How can I raise a king?
He looks so small
His face and hands so fair
And when he cries the sun seems to disappear
But when he laughs
It shines again
How could it be?
Father show we where I fit into
This plan of yours
How can a man be father to the Son of God?
Lord for all my life I've been a simple carpenter
How can I raise a king?
How can I raise a king?
How could it be
This baby in my arms
Sleeping now so peacefully
The Son of God the angel said
How could it be?

lovely - thanks!
That is brilliant, not seen it before. Thank you for posting it!
You can purchase the album 'The Promise' from which this comes via Amazon (and no doubt others); best price is the MP3 download version which costs about the same as I paid for the cassette tape all those years ago...
