Sweet little Jesus boy, they made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy Child, didn't know who You was
Didn't know You'd come to save us Lord, to take our sins away
Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see, we didn't know who You was

Long time ago You was born, born in a manger low
Sweet little Jesus boy the world treat You mean Lord
Treat me mean too, but please, please forgive us Lord
We didn't know 'twas You

Sweet little Jesus boy, born long time ago
Sweet little Holy Child, and we didn't know who You was
