A              B            E     
Well, He cried when He was hungry
A            B              E
Did all the things that babies do
   A               B           C#
He rocked and He napped on His mother’s lap
 A                                B
And He wiggled and giggled and cooed
                 A           B            E
There were the cheers when He took His first step,
          A           B              E
And the tears when He got His first teeth;
       A             B            C#
Almost everything about this little baby
       A                      B
Seemed as natural as it could be.

   B           E                A
But this baby made the angels sing,
    B           E                A
And this baby made a new star shine in the sky.
     B          E      A          C#
This baby had come to change the world.
A    E         B       C#      A   E        B             C#
This baby was God’s own son, this baby was like no other one.
A     E        B       C#    A
This baby was God with us, this baby was Jesus.
A       B                   E
And this baby grew into a young boy,
     A          B                      E
Who learned to read and write and wrestle with dad;
      A           B                 E
There was the climbin’ of trees and the scrapin’ of knees,
   A                                  B
And all the fun that a boy’s born to have.
   A                 B            E
He grew taller and some things started changing,
   A                 B           E
Like His complexion and the sound of His voice;
   A                  B          C#
There was work to be done as a carpenter’s son
     A                           C#
And all the neighbors said He’s such a fine boy.

chorus
   C#                         A
And love made Him laugh and death made Him cry.
   Bb                         B
With the life that He lived and the death that He died,
   C#                        C#
He showed us heaven with His hands and His heart,
    A    E            B      C#
‘Cause this man was God’s own son.
     A     E       B     C#
This man was like no other one,
     A      E      B      C#
Holy and human right from the start.

(chorus)

This baby was God with us, this baby, this baby was Jesus; this baby was Jesus, 
this baby was Jesus.
