Sweet Little Jesus Boy

Sweet little Jesus Boy
They made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy Child
They 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
And we could not see
We didn't know who You were

A long time ago
You were born in a manger, Lord
Sweet little Jesus Boy
Now the world treated You mean, Lord

And it's been treatin' me mean too
But that's how things are done now
We didn't know it was You

You done told us how
And we are a-tryin'
Master, You done showed us how
Even when You were dyin'

It just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated You
Please, please, forgive us, Lord
We didn't know it was You

Sweet little Jesus Boy
Born a long time ago
Sweet little Holy Child
We didn't know who You were
