[Instrumental Intro feat. Electronic Keyboard]
[Verse 1]
Oh, little Jesus
Yes, God showed such love
Little Jesus
In a place where there is strife
He gives eternal life and peace
[Verse 2]
Oh, little Jesus
You brought hope from above
Little Jesus
Now I see You in my hands
A baby, not a man — can it be?
[Chorus 1]
And I won't need to see life after that
I'm warning Your sweet, young mother
Oh, there are others
Who will treat You cruel
But, oh-oh, Jesus
You are always God's Son, too
[Verse 3]
Little Jesus
You've got so much time
Little Jesus
Though I'm old beyond my use
The Spirit told me news of You
[Verse 4]
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh, little Jesus
I've got so much time
Livin', breathin'
But Your permanent love goes past
A person's lonesome last breath, too
[Chorus 2]
And I won't need to see life after that
I won't need to see Christ suffer
Oh, there are others
Who will treat You cruel
But, oh-oh, Jesus
God will always see Ya through
[Instrumental Break feat. Synthesizer Sax]
[Chorus 3]
And I wonder why people act so bad
I'm warning Your sweet, young mother
Oh, there are others
That might not side with You
But, oh-oh, Jesus
You still will love them, too
[Outro]
(You stepped into our lives full of bad deeds)
(Saving the lost — now I have peace)
(Suddenly, I feel renewed)
Oh, Jesus (Oh-oh, Jesus)
Ol' Simeon loves You
(You stepped into our lives full of bad deeds)
(Saving the lost — now I have peace)
(Suddenly, I feel renewed)
Oh, Jesus (Oh-oh, Jesus)
You're showin' us the truth
(You stepped into our lives full of bad deeds)
(Saving the lost — now I have peace)
(Suddenly, I feel renewed)
Oh, Jesus (Oh-oh, Jesus)
I'm goin' up with You
(You stepped) Goin' up (into our lives full of bad deeds)
(Saving the lost — now I have peace)
Suddenly, I feel renewed
Oh, Jesus (Oh-oh, Jesus)
I'm goin' up, I'm goin' up
(You stepped into our lives full of bad deeds)
(Saving the lost — now I have peace)
Suddenly, I feel renewed...
