The Most Inconvenient Christmas - The Oak Ridge Boys

Among the bills that I received was a postcard marked «Apology

The Christmas gifts you ordered aren’t in stock.»

So I packed up the kids for Grandpa’s house

Then a blizzard blew in and the car broke down

So, we shared a quart of eggnog at a truck stop

And I said, «Kids, this is unfortunate

You think it’s bad?

Well it’s inconvenient.»

But the most inconvenient Christmas ever was

Was the first one, when God came so far to give himself to us

So when the stress hits each December

How it helps me to remember

God is with us most when things just can’t get worse

The most inconvenient Christmas ever was, was the first

By the time we got to Grandpa’s house

His Christmas lights had burned it down

So we had to take him home to live with us

But he couldn’t stand to leave the farm

So now there’s cattle in our yard

Sheep on the rug, pigs in the tub, and a rooster at dawn

And I said, «Now honey, this is unfortunate

You think this is bad, well it’s inconvenient.»

A young girl expects a child she can’t explain

Forced to walk a hundred miles just to give birth in the hay

While the king in that same hour

Fearing challenge to his power

Sent his troops to track him down and wipe them out

Yep, hands down…
