Sweet Christmas Jesus

This is the image of one of my nephews years back and his fascination with the nativity scene, the creche.

Sweet Christmas Jesus

There’s a little boy kneeling at a stable Standing up the shepherds just right Joseph standing so straight and tall Next to Mary his wife Seeing with the eyes of a shepherd boy Offering the gift of a king There’s a little boy kneeling at a stable Under the angel’s wings

He can hear the cattle lowing He can see a newborn lamb Sees the sure-footed feet of the donkey Shuffling into Bethlehem He can hear the joy of a songbird Singing from the rafters high If a little boy sees with the heart of a child Oh Lord why can’t I

Sweet Christmas Jesus Lying so meek and mild Sweet Christmas Jesus Love is in the heart of a child

Soon it will be bedtime Counting only one more sleep Little baby Jesus still in his hand The one that he wants to keep Under the wings of an angel Bathed in a heavenly light There’s a little boy dreaming of a stable all on a miracle night
