Well the news spread Jerusalem, tonight a child is born There are shepherds fallin' to their knees, and Angels blowin' horns But in their golden halls the Pharasees Scoffed and drank their wine They said it's only Hebrew prophesy We don't care and besides He just a kid That's all is One more pebble in the gravel One more rumor in the rabble. How can He be king? He's just a kid.
Well in no time He the world was knockin' on His door Performed miracles and wonders they had never see before Soon the stopped laughin The silver sun was paid And near the end He knelt down in the garden and He prayed:
I'm just a That's all I am I'll need Your strength too see me through it If it is Your 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 mother's, son's and father's and children just like mine About the power in unselfishness, love and sacrifice The Gift that we were given the price.
And how the news spread through Jerusalem, tonight a child is born There shepherds fallin' to their knees, and angels blowin' horns I wonder how on Earth the Pharasees, 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 pebble in the gravel One more rumor in the ravel And how can He be king? He's just a kid
