Sweet little Jesus boy
They made You be born in a manger, my Lord
Sweet little Holy child
We didn't know who You was
We didn't know You'd come to save us
Lord, to take our sins away
Our eyes were blind
We just could not see
We didn't know it was You
Oh, you have told us how
How we are trying, yes
Master, master, You have showed us how
Even when You were dying
Well, just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated You
Oh, please, oh, please sir, forgive us, Lord
'Cause we didn't know it was You
Sweet little Jesus boy
They made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy child
We didn't know who You was
