Sweet Little Jesus Boy

Sweet little Jesus boy (Jesus boy)

They made you be born in a manger

Sweet little holy child (Holy child)

We 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, we could not see

We didn't know who you were

Long time ago

You were born

Born in a manger, Lord

Sweet little Jesus boy

The world treats you mean, Lord (Lord)

Treats me mean, too (Too)

But that's how things is down here

We didn't know who you are

You done told us how (Told us how)

We is a-trying

Master, you done shown us how (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

Sweet little Jesus boy (Jesus boy)

Born a long time ago

Sweet little holy child (Holy child)

And we didn't know who you were
