This Baby

Well, He cried when He was hungry

Did all the things that babies do;

He rocked and He napped on His mother's 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

CHORUS

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 God's 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 boy's 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 carpenter's son

And all the neighbors said He's such a fine boy

But this boy made the angels sing

And this boy made a new star shine in the sky

This boy had come to change the world

This boy was God's own son, this boy was like no other one

This boy was God with us

This boy became a man

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 God's 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
