This Baby

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.
