Rebecca St. James - Sweet Little Jesus Boy lyrics

rate me

By Robert Mac Gimsey

Sweet little Jesus boy they made you be born in a manger

Sweet little holy child

We didn't know who you were

Sweet little Jesus boy they made you be born in a manger

Sweet little holy child

We didn't know who you were

We didn't know who you were

Didn't know you'd come to save us

To take our sins away

Our eyes were blind we could not see

We didn't know who you were

We didn't know who you were

Long time ago you were born

Born in a manger low sweet little Jesus boy

The world treats you mean Lord, treats me mean too

But that's how things are down here

We don't know who you are (X4)

You have told us how we are trying

Master you have shown us how even when you were dying

Just seem like we can't do right, look how we treated you

But please sir, forgive us Lord

We didn't know it was you

We didn't know it was you (X3)

Sweet little Jesus boy born long time ago

Sweet little holy child

We didn't know who you were
