Christmas cover
01. Sweet Little Jesus Boy
Album: Christmas
Artist: Rebecca St. James
 

Sweet little Jesus boy they made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Sweet little Jesus boy they made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
We didn't know who you were

Didn't know you'd come to save us
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind we could not see
We didn't know who you were
We didn't know who you were

Long time ago you were born
Born in a manger low sweet little Jesus boy
The world treats you mean Lord, treats me mean too
But that's how things are down here
We don't know who you are (X4)

You have told us how we are trying
Master you have shown us how even when you were dying
Just seem like we can't do right, look how we treated you
But please sir, forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you
We didn't know it was you (X3)
Sweet little Jesus boy born long time ago
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were

By Robert Mac Gimsey / Copyright © 1934 Carl Fischer (ASCAP)

Behind the Song:
'I love the 'realness' of this song. So many didn't and still don't know that Jesus came 'to save us and take our sins away'. We must boldly share this truth!' - Rebecca St. James
