Jesus
From a virgins womb you were born
On that beautiful Christmas morn
Men came from places all around
And placed many gifts on the ground
At a young age you were teaching
The word of God you were preaching
You were baptized and God sent a dove
And for you he declared his love
You fasted forty nights, days
When tempted you followed Gods ways
You turned the water into wine
Healed those who were deaf and blind
You cast out demands in Gods name
Made to walk the ones who were lame
You brought the dead back to life again
With your hand calmed the wind and rain
You were whipped and beaten for our sin
Because of you sin is forgiven
You forgave he who betrayed you
And said we should forgive too
When you gave your spirit up to death
And took your very last breath
A great earthquake shook the ground there
The temple veil in two did tear
Three days later you rose again
And ascended into heaven
You came to earth knowing your fate
Shed your blood to open heavens gate
Not for the righteous, but the lost
You were hung on that wooden cross
