Sweet Little Jesus Boy

Sweet little Jesus boy

They made You be born in a manger

Sweet little Holy child

They didn't know who You were.

Didn't know You'd come to save us Lord

To take our sins away

Our eyes were blind

And we could not see

We didn't know who You were.

A long time ago

You were born in a manger, Lord

Sweet little Jesus Boy (Sweet Jesus boy)

Now the world treated You mean, Lord

And it's been treatin' me mean too

But that's how things are done now, yeah (Sweet)

We didn't know it was You.

You done told us how

And we are a-tryin'

Master, You done showed us how (how)

Even when you were dyin' (when you were dyin')

It just seems like we can't do right (do right)

Look how we treated you, yeah

Please, please, forgive us Lord

We didn't know it was you.

Sweet little Jesus boy (Sweet little Jesus)

Born a long time ago

Sweet little Holy child

We didn't know who You were...
