HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET JESUS
yes, it's that time of year . . .
to celebrate, again, with JOY,
your birthday, JESUS, DEAR ~

Recalling in the carol's sung
precious Babe, in manger lay . . .
Heavenly host & angels proclaim
Jesus Christ is born today ~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET JESUS,
our hearts join their's to sing . . .
Hosannas in the Highest
Messiah, King of Kings ~

Friends and family gathering
fellowship and gifts to share . . .
Oh, what a pity 'twould be, Lord,
if YOU weren't invited there ~

Since it's YOU we're celebrating
what would Christmas really mean . . .
if YOU aren't invited, JESUS,
a sad and senseless scene ~

YOU are the One who taught us
lights & tinsel do not Christmas make . . .
YOU gave the most precious GIFT of all
on the Cross of Calvary for our sake ~

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET JESUS,
accept the gratitude & praises we send . . .
Thank YOU, precious JESUS,
our LORD ~ our SAVIOUR~our FRIEND !!!
