Sweet Little Jesus Boy
Robert MacGimsey
Sweet little Jesus boy
They made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy Child
And we didn't know who You were
Didn't know You'd come to save us, Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see
And we didn't know who You were
The world treat you mean, Lord
They treat me mean too
Oh, but that's how things is down here
We just don't know who You is
You done told us how
And we is trying
Master, Lord, You done showed us how
Even when You was dying
Just seem like we can't do right
Look how we treated You
But please, Sir, forgive us, Lord
We didn't know it was You
Sweet little Jesus Boy
Born such a long time ago
Well, sweet little holy Child
And we didn't even know who You were
