sweet little jesus boy

sweet little jesus boy

they made you be born in a manger

sweet little holy child

we didn't know who you were

didn't know you'd come to save us lord

to take our sins away

our eyes were blind

we could not see

we didn't know who you were

you have told us how

we are trying

master you have shown us how

even when you were dying

just seems like we can't do right

look how we treated you

but please sir forgive us lord

we didn't know it was you

sweet little jesus boy

born a long time ago

sweet little holy child

we didn't know who you were
