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