Well, He cried when He was hungry
Did all the things that babies do
He rocked and He napped on His mothers lap
And He wiggled and giggled and cooed
There were the cheers when He took His first step,
And the tears when He got His first teeth;
Almost everything about this little baby
Seemed as natural as it could be.
But this baby made the angels sing,
And this baby made a new star shine in the sky.
This baby had come to change the world.
This baby was Gods own son, this baby was like no other one.
This baby was God with us, this baby was Jesus.
And this baby grew into a young boy,
Who learned to read and write and wrestle with dad;
There was the climbin of trees and the scrapin of knees,
And all the fun that a boys born to have.
He grew taller and some things started changing,
Like His complexion and the sound of His voice;
There was work to be done as a carpenters son
And all the neighbors said Hes such a fine boy.
And love made Him laugh and death made Him cry.
With the life that He lived and the death that He died,
He showed us heaven with His hands and His heart,
Cause this man was Gods own son.
This man was like no other one,
Holy and human right from the start.
(chorus)
This baby was God with us, this baby, this baby was Jesus; this baby was Jesus,
this baby was Jesus.
