Well the news spread through Jerusalem, tonight a child is born
There are shepherds fallin' to their knees, and an- -gels blowin' horns
But in their golden halls, the Pharisees scoffed and drank their wine
They said, "It's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care
And besides, He's just a kid, that's all He is
One more pebble in the grav- el, one more rumor in the rabble
How can He be king? He's just a kid" |
Well in no time, it seemed the world was knockin' on His door
Performin' miracles and wonders they had nev- -er seen before
Soon, the Pharisees stopped laughin', the silver sum was paid
And near the end He knelt down in the garden
And He prayed, "I'm just a kid, that's all I am
I'll need Your strength to see me through it, if it is Your will I'll do it
But how can I be king? I'm just a kid"
Now I think about the Baby and the Man at Christmas time
Of mothers, sons and fathers and children just like mine
About the power and un- selfishness, love and sacrifice
The Gift that we were given and the price
And how the news spread through Jerusalem, to- night a child is born
There are shepherds falling to their knees, and an- -gels blowin' horns
I wonder how on Earth the Pharisees could scoff and drink their wine
And say, "He's only Hebrew prophesy, we don't care
And besides, He's just a kid, that's all He is
One more pebble in the gra- vel, one more rumor in the rabble
And how can He be king? He's just a kid"
