Jesus, the baby born in a stable,
Jesus, you are born this day,
Jesus, in surroundings so humble,
Jesus, surrounded in hay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, baby Jesus!
What you say, my lord!
Hey, hey, hey, baby Jesus!
What you say will be eternally heard.
I hear you'll tell us to live this life
with a little compassion, that's right,
with a little bit of kindness we can stand
with an open heart and an open hand.
Jesus, the baby born in a stable,
Jesus, you are born this day,
Jesus, in surroundings so humble,
Jesus, surrounded in hay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, baby Jesus!
What you say, my lord!
Hey, hey, hey, baby Jesus!
What you say will be eternally heard.
I hear you'll tell us along this ride,
everybody's on the same side,
every body wants to live in peace,
We might get there if we practice what you're teachin'.
