[Verse 1]
Shepherds gaze in wonder
While angel voices sing
This night of nights has come
And brought the world the long-awaited King
The earth is filled with gladness
And yet the heavens weep
For heaven's eyes can see
He was born to die for me
[Chorus]
Jesus
Baby Jesus
Is that a tear in your eye?
Jesus
Baby Jesus
You must know you were born to die
[Verse 2]
It must have broken God's heart
For the future He could see
Yet He formed the hands and feet
Knowing one day they'd be nailed to a tree
So all the world could know Him
A gift came from above
For God so loved the world (He loved the world)
That He gave His only Son (Gave his only)
[Chorus]
Jesus
Baby Jesus
With a tear of love in your eye
Jesus
Sweet baby Jesus
You knew you were born to die
[Outro]
So Jesus
Thank you, Jesus
For your gift of eternal life
My Jesus
Jesus
'Cause for me, you were born to die
