(Note: These lyrics go to the tune of 'Danny Boy' or 'Londonderry Air'. Something like that. I may write a 3rd stanza. Thanks.)
1)
Boy child of Mary and the Holy Spirit
Boy child of love and birth in Bethlehem
Boy child who grew to revolutionize the world
Boy child who came to earth not to condemn.
2)
Later a gentle preacher called the Son of Man
The Lamb of God who takes away our sins
The Prince of Peace who's saddened by each act of war
The Trinity who loses not but wins.
Refrain:
They took his hands and placed them on the rough-hewn cross
They took their spikes; they drove them through his flesh
He braved the torture and the loss of dignity
He braved such cruel pain and death for you and me.
