Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Don't know you came 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, Lord, have showed us how
And now we're tryin'
Master, you have showed us how
Even when you were dyin'
Just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated you
But please, please, forgive us, Lord
We didn't know it was you
