I
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD THE STORY, OF THE BIRTH IN BETHLEHEM.
AND THE WISE MEN FROM THE EAST WHO CAME TO WORSHIP HIM.
THEY SAY HIS NAME WAS JESUS, HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN BIRTH,
HE WAS MARY'S FIRST BORN SON. HE WAS MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.
II
HE WAS DESPISED, AND NOT ESTEEMED.
HE WAS WOUNDED JUST FOR ME. YET HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH.
BUT WENT ON FAITHFULLY, HE WENT FROM PRISON TO THE CROSS.
WITH THE WICKED ONES, BUT HE AROSE, HE DIED.
AND HE IS GONNA COME AGAIN.
CHORUS
THEY CALLED HIM JESUS OF NAZARETH.
AND CHRIST AND SAVIOR TOO,
THEY CALLED HIM JESUS AND EMANUEL.
AND KING OF THE JEWS.
HE WAS GENTLE AS A TENDER PLANT, AS A ROOT OUT OF DRY GROUND.
NO BEAUTY IN HIM, COULD BE FOUND.
HE WAS MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.
