Long ago in a stable there was a baby being born 
                             C 
His parents were Joseph and Mary 
                      G 
And Joseph's big ole heart was torn 
           C               D               G                D#m 
Cause he couldn't find a decent place for Mary to have her child 
      C                 D                         C                  G 
But Mary said it just seemed just right and she blessed it with her smile 

G                                   C           G 
Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms 
                      C                        G                D 
God sent him down to give the world a second chance for you and I 
               G          C                     G 
That's why we have Christmas at this time each year 
          C                D          C       D         G 
It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer

who followed a star and walked a long long way to the stable. So everytime you tear open  
one of your presents, think about that baby and say Happy birthday Jesus, I'll open this 
one for you
