Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus

Since your last birthday, Baby Jesus
It's been a real hard year.
I've lost so many loved ones
And shed many a tear.

It hurts to be so alone,
As You Yourself do know,
Your life on earth was not easy
But You did have a goal.

You, were to teach us,
About Your Father's ways,
To teach us that our goal,
Was our soul to save.

You did Your job at Your expense, 
How selfish I must seem,
For I still have a chance to live
And reach Your golden dream.

Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus,
I've grown up today.
I know my loved ones are better off
You've taken their pain away.

My gift to You, Baby Jesus,
I bow my head and pray, 
That I will live the way You taught,
And join You all, one day.

Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus.
