happy birthday jesus lyrics

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 ol' 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 every time 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

Okay, all together now
Happy birthday Jesus
I'll open this one just for You
