AWell, He cried Bwhen He was hEungry
ADid all the tBhings that babiEes do
He Arocked and He naBpped on His C#mother’s lap
AAnd He wiggled and giggled and cooBed
There were the chAeers when He Btook His firEst step,
And the teAars when He Bgot His first tEeeth;
Almost Aeverything aboBut this littlC#e baby
Seemed Aas natural as it could Bbe.
But Bthis baby mEade the angels siAng,
And Bthis baby maEde a new star shiAne in the sky.
This Bbaby had coEme to cAhange the wC#orld.
AThis Ebaby was GBod’s own C#son, thAis bEaby was lBike no other oC#ne.
AThis bEaby was GBod with C#us, thAis baby was Jesus.
AAnd this Bbaby grew into a yoEung boy,
Who lAearned to rBead and write and wrestEle with dad;
There Awas the climBbin’ of trees and Ethe scrapin’ of knees,
And Aall the fun that a boy’s born to hBave.
He Agrew taller and soBme things staErted changing,
LikAe His complexion aBnd the sound Eof His voice;
TheAre was work to be dBone as a caC#rpenter’s son
And aAll the neighbors said He’s sC#uch a fine boy.

This Aman waEs like nBo otheC#r one,

(chorus)
This baby was God with us, this baby, this baby was Jesus; this baby was Jesus, 
this baby was Jesus.
