sweet baby jesus

i wonder were you cold that night

lying there by mary's side

taking your first breath

i wonder were you scared to death

fully human

fully god

full of wonder and the blood

that one day you would shed to save the world

tiny feet and tiny hands

with all the earth at their command

it must have felt strange to you

sweet baby jesus

come down to love us

to lie in a manger

so far from home

you could have left us

helpless and so lost

but you chose to save us

sweet baby jesus

the first time mary held you close

all wrapped up in tattered clothes

did you see tears fall from her eyes

just a mother holding her first child

fully human

fully god

full of wonder and the blood

that one day you would shed to save the world

tiny feet and tiny hands

with all the earth at their command

oh

it must have been strange to you

sweet baby jesus

come down to love us

to lie in a manger

so far from home

oh

you could have left us

helpless and so lost

but you chose to save us

sweet baby jesus

sweet baby jesus

come down to love us

to lie in a manger

to die on a cross

oh

you could have left us

helpless and so

so lost

but you chose to save us

sweet baby jesus

sweet baby jesus
