Happy Birthday Jesus (I'll Open This One for You)

Now kids hang on just a second before we start

You know there's a reason we are all here in front of Grandma and

Grandpa's

Christmas tree

And if Trevor and E.P. would quit fighting long enough and be real quiet

This little song might help ya understand

Long ago in a stable there was a baby being born

His parents were Joseph and Mary

And Joseph's big ole heart was torn

Cause he couldn't find a decent place for Mary to have her child

But Mary said it just seemed just right and she blessed it with her

Smile

Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms

God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I

That's why we have Christmas at this time each year

It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer

Now kids the presents that all of you exchange on Christmas

Represents the gifts that baby Jesus received the night he was born

He got all his presents from three wise men

Who followed a star

And walked a long long way to the stable

So everytime you tear open one of your presents

Think about that baby and say

Happy birthday Jesus

I'll open this one for you

Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms

God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I

That's why we have Christmas at this time each year

It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer

OK all together now

Happy Birthday Jesus

I'll open this one just for you
