Williams, Andy - Sweet Little Jesus Boy Lyrics






Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Didn't know you'd come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind, we could not see
We didn't know who you were

You have told us how
We are trying
Master you have shown us how
Even when you were dying
Just seems 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 a long time ago
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were

    Sweet Little Jesus Boy” is a spiritual, written in the language of an ex-slave. The words don’t use perfect grammar, but they do use perfect truth.

    On Christmas Eve in 1934, American Robert MacGimsey walked around New York City. He passed by one noisy bar or nightclub after another, blaring loud music amid secular Christmas celebrations.

    But none of the sounds he heard had anything to do with the true meaning of Christmas.

    In fact, MacGimsey realized he often left Jesus out of his celebration too. American slaves were often mistreated, ignored, or considered unimportant. So was Jesus. https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/17342/day/21?segment=0

    This song can be played year round, I don't like how these songs are limited to just Christmas, every day is Christmas when you love the Lord... This song burns in my heart like no other... Love You Jesus with all my heart. Amen

    Merry Christmas 2018. I play this song every morning and evening on every Christmas to celebrate this most wondrous day of the season. Also, it helps me to keep my heart open and warm from this cold world that we are living in. Peace, Love, and blessings to the reader of this message. May 2019 be a year of healing and peace amongst us all in the world.

    Lord, we have purposefully wandered so far away from you! Send Your Holy Spirit to infuse us with an appreciation for why You had to come to Earth to die for us sinners! May Your will be done to us and to our nation as we deserve.

    Sweet little Jesus Boy, they made you be born in a manger. Sweet little Holy Child, didn't know who You was. Didn't know you come to save us, Lord; to take our sins away. Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see, we didn't know who You was. Long time ago, you was born. Born in a manger low, Sweet little Jesus Boy. The world treat You mean, Lord; treat me mean, too. But that's how things is down here, we didn't know t'was You. You done showed us how, we is trying. Master, You done showed us how, even when you's dying. Just seem like we can't do right, look how we treated You. But please, sir, forgive us Lord, we didn't know 'twas You. Sweet little Jesus Boy, born long time ago. Sweet little Holy Child, and we didn't know who You was....
