born to die

shepherds gaze in wonder

while angel voices sing

y'all

this night of nights has come

and brought the world the long-awaited king

the earth is filled with gladness

and yet the heavens weep

for heaven's eyes can see

he was born to die for me

jesus

baby jesus

is that a tear in your eye

jesus

baby jesus

you must know you were born to die

it must have broken god's heart

for the future he could see

yet he formed his hands and feet

knowing one day they'd be nailed to a tree

so all the world could know it

a gift came from above

for god so loved the world

that he gave his only son

jesus

baby jesus

with a tear of love in your eye

jesus

baby jesus

you knew you were born to die
