born to die

shepherds gaze in wonder, while angel voices sing, y'all, this night of nights has come, and brought the world the long-awaited king, the earth is filled with gladness, and yet the heavens weep, for heaven's eyes can see, he was born to die for me, jesus, baby jesus, is that a tear in your eye, jesus, baby jesus, you must know you were born to die, it must have broken god's heart, for the future he could see, yet he formed his hands and feet, knowing one day they'd be nailed to a tree, so all the world could know it, a gift came from above, for god so loved the world, that he gave his only son, jesus, baby jesus, with a tear of love in your eye, jesus, baby jesus, you knew you were born to die
