Sweet Baby Jesus Song Lyrics:
I wonder were you cold that night
Lying there by Mary’s side
Taking your first breath
I wonder were you scared to death
Fully human, fully God
Full of wonder and the blood
That one day you would shed to save the world
Tiny feet and tiny hands
With all the earth at their command
It must have felt strange to you
Sweet Baby Jesus
Come down to love us
To lie in a manger
So far from home
You could have left us
Helpless and so lost
But you chose to save us
Sweet Baby Jesus
The first time Mary held you close
All wrapped up in tattered clothes
Did you see tears fall from her eyes
Just a mother holding her first child
Fully human, fully God
Full of wonder and the blood
That one day you would shed to save the world
Tiny feet and tiny hands
With all the earth at their command
Oh, it must have been strange to you
Sweet Baby Jesus
Come down to love us
To lie in a manger
So far from home
Oh, you could have left us
Helpless and so lost
But you chose to save us
Sweet Baby Jesus
Sweet Baby Jesus
Come down to love us
To lie in a manger
To die on a cross
Oh, you could have left us
Helpless and so, so lost
But you chose to save us
Sweet Baby Jesus
Sweet Baby Jesus Song Meaning:
Sweet Baby Jesus recaps the birth of Jesus, the newborn King in a similar was as “Mary, Did You Know?”, but more from the perspective of Jesus. Underwood’s song wonders how it must have felt to be the Son of God, yet filled with the blood he would one day shed to save the world. The story of Jesus is awesome to all who hear it, but this song digs deeper into wondering how Jesus must have felt to come to Earth, as nothing more than an innocent baby.
