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 ole 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 everytime 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
|
|
OK all together now
|
Happy Birthday Jesus
|
I'll open this one just for you
