Little baby Jesus,  precious little boy,
Born on Christmas night to bring us untold joy.
His mama held Him closely, wrapped in swaddling clothes,
She laid Him in a manger that God already chose

The animals moved closer to honor this newborn King,
The Wise Men traveled far, precious gifts they had to bring.
Honoring this baby boy, giving praise to God above,
The baby boy born that day was a symbol of His love  

He would grow up, become a man, and die upon a cross,
Be raised up from the sleep of death so we would not suffer loss. 
 He met his brothers so they could see that He did truly live,
For our sins He was put to death,  but His life He did  freely give

Thank you God for this precious little baby boy you gave,
He lived and died and lived again so we could all be saved.
He took our sins with Him that day He died upon the hill,
I love you precious Jesus, I will always do your will

Celebrate the season, praise the Lord with voices raised,
Sing His praises, do His will, and to Him always give praise.
God brought this child into the world, our sins to take away,
Raise your voices, sing His praise, celebrate His birth today!
