Once upon a Christmas morning

There was a pretty little baby boy

It seems like I remember sadness

Mingling in the joy

For Mary saw the future

And the sadness it would bring

And that's when Mary started crying

When she heard the angels sing



[Chorus]



Let's make a baby king

Let's make him Lord of all

Let's give him everything

Let's make a baby king



Now, you remember little King David

He's the little baby's kin

He's cousin to the man named John

And I know you all remember him

And John said, "Let's get ready!"

The herald angels sing

'Cause this old world needs to know

The good news that I bring



Let's make a baby king

Let's make him Lord of all

Let's give him everything

Let's make a baby king



Now we could use a revolution

The world is turned upside down

We need a new direction

We've got to turn this whole thing around

And we need a Lord to guide us

Teach us wrong and right

And we need a lamb to lead us

Into the land of light
